Travel and a push off by Oweh.

I just got off work, but based on the game, who would we rather play?

With the new continuation rule, you let that play out. Better chance of making 3 FTs than that shot.

No, you foul well before shooting, thus giving them only 2 FT's when down 3 and that little amount of time left

It appears AZ was ready to go.

You basically need to foul in the back court to be safe, but they got up the court so quickly.

We are in trouble either way.

I think we match-up better with Santa Clara but it's pretty close between the two.

Santa Clara. If they win this, they'll blow their load and have little left for us. Kentucky getting some favorable calls scares me

This is why I want SC

 

[Cloned4Life]

Agree but can be tough in a scramble situation with that little of time to avoid getting in act of shooting.

~3 seconds is an eternity for an offense, but the SC defender was riding him the entire length of the floor. Just swipe at the ball before you get to half court. Honestly there might not be an easier time to foul (and remember to foul), because with that little time left, there's no worrying about the right second to do it like there would be if there's 10 seconds left or whatever.

 

[Clonefan94]

Come on 2nd overtime.

EDIT: Dang, SC making some poor decistions late. I don't really care who we play, still have to win today, just like to see Kentucky lose.

same old story... Kentucky has more talent, but Santa Clara is the "better team". so it's tough to say?

[alenz95]

Neither of these teams scare me as a potential matchup.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

Major little brother energy for a team that didn’t do anything this season

 

[xboxfever]

Oweh traveled? No way. He only travels on nearly every possession.

 

[isufbcurt]

UK's length and shot blocking are a concern

 

[AllInForISU]

That guy for SC has made some bad decisions this OT

 

[exCYtable]

2 straight horrible offensive possessions and decisions by 2
