Great find, but Drew was already in the front court, not in the back court like the Arizona kids were last night.There was a dribble in there too. All done in 2.2 seconds.
Below is the Valpo shot against Ole Miss
2.5 seconds on the clock. Got it off with 1.
1.5 seconds from touch to shot with a pass in between.
1998 Bryce Drew Shot
Jamie Sykes floated a pass to Bill Jenkins, who caught it and passed to Bryce Drew in one motion. Drew, then hit the game-winning 3 allowing Valparaiso to upset Ole Miss.www.ncaa.com

Again, the Arizona players were in the back court, no, they cannot make a baseball pass up to a forward, he catches it, and they run to into the front court and catch then shoot the ball in 2.2 seconds. Again Drew started at half court or in the front court, not in the back court. The Arizona players are not the Flash, and its going to take time for them to get into the front court. I would take my chances on a tip and a player grabbing it and making that shot, way over a player catching it, dribbling once or twice and then shooting, even if it is further away from the basket. Fran said the same thing, the key is to catch if, and dribble once or twice to get squared up to the rim and your momentum behind you.
It was a lucky shot, the kid could be in the gym today, and hit might hit it again 2 or 3 times out of 100. That does not take away that we should have defensed it differently and it will be interesting to see if that situation comes up again at the end of the half or game if we do anything different.
Props to you, if you’re going to be wrong at least be confident.
What are you actually talking about?
Do you even know what you’re talking about?
Good grief. Just take the L and move on. You are making yourself look really, really dumb.
In case you forgot, this is an exact quote of what you said.
“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”
Beat them in Houston, beat them in KC, we get the1.
Way more speculation about nothing we can change always amuses me.
Games like these are appendix games. It can do nothing for you but hurt you. Even if we beat them by 20 it does nothing. Lose, and the appendix bursts and kills you.
I disagree. I was bummed out all day, but if we kill K-State then I'll have a pep in my step Saturday
I don't blame TJ for not calling a timeout or not fouling but he either stopped coaching or just called a terrible play to defend the last possession. No way we should've just let Love catch the ball and dribble with no pressure on the ball at all. Our guys looked lost, after two free throws, he had plenty of time to let them know what they should do. It was a lucky shot but he should never have gotten the ball as far down the floor as he did. We let up for 2 seconds and it's cost us.
They let him dribble right to his spot. His forward momentum going straight at the basket. He hits the rim 9 out of 10 times, and probably makes that 1 in 10.
Anything you say, the genius of basketball. I am sure TJ has you on speed dial, so you can approve of what he is doing. Your example was wrong, someone else found one from a dozen years ago, but I am the one that is dumb. What ever, I bow to the genius of basketball
Still think Jefferson should’ve intentionally missed the second free throw. No way Arizona gets a clean look off a rebound.
But then we would all be bemoaning the staff for not making the 2nd free throw if the UA rebounder passed the ball to Love and he made a 65' shot to win the game in regulation.
The staff made the right decision for Jefferson to make the 2nd free throw to make the difference 3 points. Monday morning QBing is what sports fans do. But the reality is Love made a 5% shot.
Yeah, that was bad.
However, the Cyclones ended the half on a 5-0 run, courtesy of Tamin Lipsey.
Lot of that was not putting a body on their offensive rebounder. Couldn’t help but think Rob Jones would have put a body on that guy. I didn’t see Jackson look for someone to block out.
I remember playing full court at the state gym in the 80’s with Gary Thompson and you just couldn’t get an offensive rebound on him. I’m sure the team will work on that for Saturday.
Tamin probably should have gone up and pressured him more so he couldn’t step into it as easily. Looked like he was going to then hesitated as he wasn’t sure exactly what Love was going to do. Hindsight is 20/20 and he made an improbable shot from well beyond half court. Still a little sick to my stomach over it.
This one has stuck with me for longer than any other recent loss I can remember. They played their asses off and deserved to win that game, but as William Money said...
it's a different situation. They have ti gather the ball, take a dribble then a shot. I agree that's a harder prospect. I was thinking the same thing
Yep. Still sick to my stomach from last night.
