    So many things happened in those 5 final, furious minutes that Western Kentucky coach Ray Harper had trouble taking it all in.

    "Wow," he said, his face still flush with March emotion. "I don't know where to begin."

    How about with that finish?

    The only team with a losing record in the NCAA tournament got it started with a classic March comeback -- in front of a presidential audience, no less. T.J. Price's three-point play with 33 seconds to go completed the Hilltoppers' rally from a 16-point deficit over the last 5 minutes for a 59-58 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Tuesday night.
