I think Hunter gets to take that shot at the rim later this year and/or later in his career, but kicking it out for an open three there was the right call tonight. Coach said as much in the post game.
They played their @$$es off and got effed…same night that Baylor lost. Weird
Good god I hope we don’t wind up in the bubble looking at this screw job as a win that would have got us in.
Hunter took it as far as he was going to get. He had 2 defenders collapsing hard on him so kicking it out to the open guy was the right play. If Hunter doesn’t dish there, he turns it over, gets his shot blocked, or throws up some garbage circus shot that has no chance of going in.
He would have had a lot tougher look and there's narrow odds he draws a whistle there. He created a wide open look for a guy that had already hit four 3s. You can't ask for much more than that.
For the record there was no PI against Young… It was a missed hold on Eisworth trailing the play.
What was the JVB shot? I remember him hitting a game winner, but I was listening to JW and Heft so they seemed to think it was all good.
He agreed they should have called it a goaltend on the floor, so I think he constructed his comment poorly. IDK.
It's actually not tough at all to call that in real time. In fact it's one of the easiest calls. Everyone is looking at the ball and it clearly bounces before the block. It's one of the most obvious calls in basketball, and they made the very same call against us midway through the first half (Jones or Conditt I can't remember)
we’d be ranked 3rd or 4th in nation if he got self and huggy calls
JVB hit like a half courter to beat Creighton in Fred's first year. Game wasn't televised so no review but was later shown to be after 0s on the clock.
You're right, it was Eisworth.
We played Creighton in Des Moines, and he hit a 3 at the buzzer but he clearly didn't get the shot off in time, but they gave it to us.
Yeah because there was no way they would have called a foul on KU.
The JVB shot definitely would have been ruled that he didn't get it off, but because there wasn't TV outside of Cyclones.TV? they didn't have replay to review it IIRC.
We played Jones down to 24 seconds and if FT's were big concern he would have been pulled after Caleb's shot.
I doubt Jones would have touched the ball if he was in at end. Jaz has a jump shot in case the half court offense broke down. I'm sure staff was expecting a good shot to happen closer to clock expiring.
But we scored early and missed having a shot blocker when Harris drove for winning bucket.
