You ******* about the refs all game then you want to risk them potentially calling a shooting foul on the 3 point attempt?

Wow yeah right there with you. Fran was 1000% certain that JJ was making both free throws.
Forget the last shot. That's a big lead to give away. Road games are road games but this team is still pretty inconsistent and definitely has the skill to pull away but doesn't very often. Definitely lots to coach on over the last of the conference season.
There are a ton of basketball games happening every year so yes we do see shots like this happen, but it's not at a high clip at all. It's actually very very low. A much higher percent shot is a throw to half court to a quick pass to someone else for someone 20+ feet shorter.
The craziest thing, is Fran saw a game not even a week ago that had a more unlikely ending than this one. A 70% FT shooter missing 2 FT to put his team up 8 with 17 seconds left. Even with missing those 2 FTs, that Kansas collapse was way more unlikely than this loss.
There was 2.2 seconds on the clock, they are not going to be able to throw it the length of the court, and then kick it out to get a shot. If they throw it the length of the court that guy has to shoot it, or they are going to run out of time. Now if they only need two points, its totally different, but need a three changes everything. It was a miracle shot, without a doubt, but you cannot let a guard catch the ball, dribble and square up to the hoop.
Saw a stat that said the liklihood of Houston and Arizona winning those games like that was something like 1/2 of a percent lol. Awesome.
My bad, was told there was one but doesn't seem to be. Oh well.
Bryce Drew would like a word.
Unlikely? Yes. But we have literally seen it happen before.
Shoot, if Milan had 2.2 seconds last year against Baylor, that’s a W, and that was a pass from King to Milan with 1.5.
If you are referring to ISU giving away a lead, they were up 3 after gilberts layup with 2:23 left
We never lead by more that 7 and our largest lead was 16-9. What large lead did we blow?
Think of it this way - in a big time road game in which we were underdogs - it took a literal ******* miracle to beat us despite:
1) worst turnover game of the year
2) Curtis Jones going 1-11 from the field, 0-8 from 3
3) second worst FT shooting game of the year
and now they get 5 days to prep for purple Kansas -> and then go beat KU in Phog Allen (back-to-back Big Monday road games is very unusual)
.5 seconds is enough to catch and shoot. 2.2 seconds is more than enough time to throw a ball to half court with another player setting a screen to a guy who gets a good look. That play is actually in most coach's back pocket.
get a grip
touch grass
pull your head out of your ass
whatever you need to do to stop that ****, do it
Some days you feel pretty dumb but then you open this thread and read posts talking about how having less points and giving up easier shots is the best defense.
