Jeremy Roach reached a Final Four and won Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season and tournament titles during four productive years at Duke.

It didn't take him long to create a memorable moment with his new team.

Roach swished a 3-pointer at the buzzer of the second overtime on Thursday night, completing No. 13 Baylor's rally for an improbable 99-98 victory over No. 22 St. John's at the Baha Mar Championship on Thursday night.

Roach's fortunes changed quickly in his fifth game for Baylor 4-1. With 17 seconds left in regulation and the Bears leading by two, he had a chance to ice the game but missed the front end of a one-and-one.

"He said, 'I'm going to miss this free throw so I can get a SportsCenter Top 10 play,'" Bears coach Scott Drew joked.
