Last play?

What were we trying to do? Get it inside, or try for a three? My volume at work was off so i couldn't hear the ESPN guys talk about it.

IMO we should have been going for a 3 to end it.

Everyone on that island knew we were going to try and get it inside and it looked like that's what we were trying to do.

Mempiss had the inside well defended so why not go to the perimeter for a three?

Poor ending to a well coached game.

Get it to the guy who had dominated the game?

I don't think getting it to the guy who put the team on his back was a bad move.

Memphis just played great half court D. They are athletic and it's hard for us to get a shot off in 3 seconds against them. It shouldn't have come to that.

Watch a few more basketball games and you'll understand why we tried to do that.

Yes, it worked out fine. He got as good a look as you're going to get with .8 seconds left. If you think that was bad, you don't watch much basketball.

On the out of bounds play? They did. They weren't letting Maymon get the ball by the basket.

yea, not talking about the final play. i'm talking about the 2 inbounds plays with 3 seconds to go. But to your point about Maymons shot at .8, it was a blessing to just get a shot up.

on THAT play. Again if you read my first post you'll see that I said everyone (including Mempiss) knew that's where we were going which is why they had it well defended. Under normal circumstances (with at least 8+ secs) that would be that call regardless... but with 3 seconds and where the ball was being inbounded, i think it was in UT's best interest to go for a three.
