Yeah, but Arizona doesn't storm the court if they win that way against Colorado.

How do so many people on here know so little?
The difference is uneven scheduling. We have a soft second half of the conference schedule
And again, they don’t attempt that shot, but an 85% FT shooter teaming up with the best offensive rebounder in the country makes that made FT/outback on the missed second FT a real possibility.
He’s made 4 in a row to win a game, he’s not going to go 100% in hostile road games
The theory would be its more rushed
I would make it and then play aggressive D. Don't let guy dribble clean into shot
it sucks but the doom and gloom is ridiculous right now. We lost on a miracle and Jones was 0-8 from 3.
Not trying to be Debbie Downer but Houston aint losing 4 times after they pulled that win out @ the phog.
I can’t wait for you to explain how.
Just to confirm, you think the half court heave has a higher percentage than free throws and an offensive rebound?
I don’t know. Probably close but it really wasn’t a huge game. If something like this happened in the first round of the NCAA Tournament then I’d say so.
Call me crazy but I can’t get too worked up about 1 seed vs 2 seed. So much of it comes down to matchups anyway. We have a team full of absolute dogs and have all the metrics that show we are a contender. Get Milan back, stay healthy and make a run.
I'm struggling to wrap my head around those non calls in overtime. I can accept the lucky a** shot to tie the game at the end of regulation, but the blatant hacking, reaching in (defender not even attempting to move their feet) and whacking the shooter is what leaves the bad taste in my mouth. I'd rather say, "that Love guy caught fire after a 60 ft shot! He stepped it up and beat us in OT" instead I'm sitting here pissed off at lousy, inconsistent officiating.
18 turnovers and 66% from the charity stripe, that’s why we lost
Comes down to we get everyone's best shot, including the opposing fan base. Court storm worthy is almost a compliment.
Yes. Kids play around shooting half court shots all the time.
Guarantee you Caleb Love practices that shot regularly. He's different like that
It hurts to lose that way, but that’s basketball. Team will feel this one for sure but they’ll bounce back and get better.
We will smash that team in Hilton. And I have a feeling the crowd will be extra loud for that one.

Personally, I feel the foul don’t foul discussion is not the same in NBA as College.
At this level I don’t like giving points and getting the ball closer to the goal. It doesn’t feel as much of a clear call as it does in NBA.
Things happen.
And that's really difficult to do with 2.2 left. The refs weren't calling touch fouls. We'd have had to tackle someone off the ball for a foul to be called. You also risk giving them 3 ft's there if Love jacks it during the foul. In their end of the half court you're fouling, but I'm fine with letting them put up a prayer. They got lucky.
This loss isn't the end of the world. Houston won't run the table. We still have a shot at the Big XII Champ. And frankly, a 1 or 2 seed doesn't make much difference. Lots of basketball left. Proud of these guys for their grit in a tough environment.
It's also an easy shot to block. Didn't like giving him a wide open look at it.
