I don’t understand this strategy by KU. Wasted 13 seconds and allowed St. John’s multiple times to draw up a play
 
KU really used their fouls in a stupid way there. SJ wasn’t going to chuck a shot until a few seconds for left. They could have waited to use their 3 fouls to give. And probably forced SJ to inbounds with a second or so left.

I also hate fouls to give.
 
Terrible defense by Kansas, let up a layup with 4 seconds left and him receiving the ball on the other side of half court.
 
Great play by St John’s. So many teams just dribble around and then throw up a jumper.
Pitino wanted to drive the ball to the hoop and get a bucket or a foul.
