Here's hoping that Purdue can do the same later today and Michigan tomorrow.

Probably didn't matter, but why did Jay Wright use his last timeout prior to the final free throw? If Brown misses the FT, you need the timeout to have any chance of getting a final shot. If he makes the FT, the game is over anyway. That was a head-scratcher.

He tried to freeze him and set up a plan for what to do after the rebound. It halfway worked. That timeout doesn't do much for you if you are down 4.

If he didn't take the TO the chances of that 2nd FT being good goes up IMO. I think it was the right call.

But what plan could there be? If you rebound the ball 90 feet from the basket with 3 seconds left and no timeouts, your chances of scoring have to be about one in 10 million.

I get that he's trying to ice the shooter, but I would rather save the timeout. Like I said, probably didn't matter, but I'd rather be able to stop the clock and have a final chance to do something.
