    Maybe, but even Bill Self doesn't think he called glass. I've certainly never made a clutch 3 before nor have I been in a position to so I couldn't tell.

    dont think he called glass, you wouldn't do that on the run like he was.

    But why would they feed him the ball against TCU or TTU? And why would he be as engaged when up 30? I'll bet he doesn't score 33 on 12 shots, or go 6 for 6 from 3, again this year.

    The people who think he can do what he did against Iowa State every game. That is what I mean about too much credit

    Yeah. No one thinks that he can do that every game. And that's not what "too much credit" means.

    Well sure those are really good odds for you. I'm not sure what they would be but I'm sure they're about the same as getting bitten by a shark while living in Des Moines. If he has another strong scoring game and shoots above 50% than that would be a very good game for anyone.

    No one can do this every game, if they did I would suspect cheating involved somewhere.

    He obviously wasn't trying to bank it, but when he shot the ball he probably realized it wasn't going to be good so to himself he called bank when he realized this. That's what I'm trying to say.

    Just curious, why? What do you know about his attitude? (honest question)

    I have seen McLemore play 4 times now and he was easily the best player on the floor all 4 times. This guy is not overrated at all.

    The kid basically hit a game winner against us. He is a good player but he made a lucky shot. Move on....

    Re: To much credit being given to Mclemore

    He's good and legit. I don't think he had an overly amazing game though in the sense of him doing anything crazy (except the game tying 3). He made his shots and efficiently. How it's supposed to be done, but I didn't get that kind of "special" vibe from that game other than him making his jumpers.

    He will go to the NBA where he'll be probably decent. Real smooth jumper..not overrated, but I do agree he hit some lucky shots. That's what happens sometimes. C'est la vie

    Why would you call bank on a 3 point shot from the top of the key? I don't get it

    We have no business calling out players who banked a buzzer beater at the end of the game. Scotty's buzzer beater three against OSU at home was a banked shot
