With the scoring numbers way down in the MVC this year, I thought this story was interesting-
In the Florida State-Miami game last night, Miami was blowing out FSU by 18 points with under 5 minutes to go in Miami. You would think FSU might have just packed it in and folded. But FSU freshman Xavier Rathan-Mayes went on a scoring streak like I have never seen before. He scored 30 points (out of FSU's last 33 points) in the final 4:38 of the game, including 26 straight points without missing a shot for Florida State! Unfortunately for FSU, they had to foul Miami to slow the game down, and Miami made 14-16 free throws in the final 3 minutes to hold on for the 81-77 win. Rathan-Mayes went 8-for-10 in the final five minutes, with six 3-pointers, and he finished with 35 points.

a couple other great scoring runs I recall...

John Scheyer scored 21 points in just 1 min & 15 seconds, and still got robbed by the ref...
