The 3-pointers kept falling for Gohlke, a Division II transfer who didn't start but never left the floor once he entered the game.

PITTSBURGH — March survival is for the dreamers, the big-moment seekers, the heroes who slash toward the basket and aren’t afraid to challenge above the rim. March staying power — both in this year’s NCAA Tournament and tournament lore — can come from behind the 3-point line, too. That’s where ’s lives and operates, and that’s where Gohlke thrived while leading the No. 14 seed Grizzlies to an 80-76 upset of No. 3 seed on Thursday night.

Sweet 16? Final Four?’ I’ve put that thought in their mind, and they’ve really battled for it, and they understand that their life got changed tonight, but it could get changed a hell of a lot more if we keep this thing going.” The Grizzlies play NC State on Saturday. Folks everywhere will tune in to see Gohlke, the guy who will shoot it from anywhere — and gets at least one more crack at pushing Oakland to new heights.
