It sounded from the broadcast like Creighton might have had a timeout (?) in which case a miss would have been the wrong move because it doesn’t gain us anything. Also, missing on purpose brings into play some other mental mistakes (like a lane violation or rebounding foul) that might be better avoided with this group.

The clock would not start until creighton grabs the rebound and they would call a timeout instantaneously, maybe .01 comes off the clock. And then you’re in a position where creighton has the ball where a two wins the game instead of tie.
That's assuming the rebound doesn't bounce around and it will take more than just .1 seconds to call a timeout.

94 feet from the basket and probably less than 1 second on the shot clock, I'll take that anytime. Creighton would have to catch and shoot and it would probably be from three if it actually happens. So in that case the extra point would not matter.

I agree. I would have missed the shot too. Creighton was going to shoot a 3 anyway so the clock and not the opponent is the enemy.

If Creighton gets the rebound there might not have been any time left. And if there was it would have been a fraction of a second. So even with them calling a timeout I don't think the extra point would have mattered.

Now if this was the NBA or women's BB then no you make the shot because in both cases after calling a timeout the ball moves all the way down the court to be inbounded.
what about the fact creighton was in the bonus and could shoot 2 on any foul? normally i agree. but with the way we play i could easily see this ending on free throws

SHU is not going to foul with less than 1 second left in the game.

You put a big man on the passer and since he can't run the baseline it's almost impossible to score short of a very, very long heave which if it goes in wouldn't matter if it was a 1 or 2 point game.

The announcers were also debating this with each individual disagreeing with the other.

I would gave made it. I feared an (over)aggressive defensive play on the inboubds and that old ref blowwing his whistle.

Still say it’s all overthinking. And it became no question at all when they reset it to 1.3, and Creighton had a time out. Nothing more basic and simple with this SHU team than to trust the defense to make the play.

did we have people in the lane to rebound if hines missed? if so, then we definitely could have fouled

He makes the most NIL on the team, averaged 19 & 6 last year, he’s not sniffing those numbers, his mid range was supposedly amazing and it’s been the complete opposite
Pretty sure Hines makes the most by a nice margin

Did he make a winning play on the last play of the game?
Yes
The 1 3 1 caught us by surprise. Without a time out available, Clark adjusted, sucked in two defenders including Green, leaving us with our 3 bigs with mismatches down low in the event of a miss. He did not make the shot but he did his job.

I feel like you know this and are just being an irritant.

Not to mention that Clark's step-back was halfway down. It's not like he's missing by 2 feet.

Actually he did. Facing an unexpected 1 - 3 - 1 zone with 10 seconds to inbound the ball he quickly penetrated and got off a quality shot that rimmed out but in getting that shot off so fast it allowed Hines time to get the putback.

In short he spearheaded the comeback with his defense. Not sure how any fan of the game can't see that.

Yes, his 2 jump balls were crucial, although the first one was clearly a foul.

His midrange fadeaway is not a quality shot, especially in a game where you were 4-13.

You claim Coleman has been a disappointment looking at numbers. Why doesn’t the same apply for Clark.

Sadly, we all know why.

Wait, really?

Remember: Coleman is being paid more than double than what Budd is. Oh and it’s to come off the bench for Ok St.

Clark is at 9.7 pts, 2.3 rebs, 5.2 assts, 2.3 steals with 2.5 turnovers. 40% from the field, 25% from 3 and 66% from the line.

that’s a pg and facilitator.

Coleman is at 8.2 pts, 4.5 rebs, 1.0 assts, 1.0 steals and 1.5 turnovers per game. 49% from the field, 6.3% from 3, 59% from the line.

That’s your shooting guard who is not usually playing against the opponents’ best lineup.

Who affects the game more? Who creates more scoring ultimately?

Considering Clark is in during high leverage situations while Coleman watches and it isn’t really close.

Let's also remember the 2 great plays Clark made ending the Providence game. The great pass for the Simpkins 3 and the pull up jumper, from a similar spot as yesterdays, that went down.

Actually not. Payne was paid the highest amount.
I never would have guessed that. I'm happy he's on our team, and he's exceeded my expectations (and I'm sure those of the vast majority on this board), but he averaged 8 and 6 on Jacksonville last year!

Glad it's working out so far, and I guess that shows how valued post players are in this era.
