    railing by three in the final seconds Tuesday night against Pittsburgh (No. 16 ESPN/USA Today, No. 17 AP), La Salle's Sam Mills had the ball -- and a dilemma -- in his hands.

    Take the 3-pointer or drive to the basket?

    Mills saw Pitt point guard Travon Woodall in the way and opted to head to the hoop.

    Bad idea.

    Woodall stretched out every last inch of his 5-foot-11 frame to block Mills' late layup attempt, helping the Panthers escape with a 73-69 victory.
