This time last year, TonTon Balenga put himself into the Division III history books, as one of a few to hit a game-winning shot in the closing seconds of the national title game. The Virginia Wesleyan guard joined UW-Stevens Point's Jason Kalsow and others in immortality.

But as the 2007 playoffs have progressed, Balenga's shooting touch has run dry. The junior guard is 6-for-30 from downtown during the Marlins' 4-0 run in the postseason.

Is the 3-for-6 performance in the Elite Eight a sign that Balenga is coming out of his slump? Is the hero of 2006 pressing too much in 2007? Will he and his coaches and teammates still have confidence in him to take the last shot?
