...and he didn't make the last free throw. BUT WHATEVER
Also, he didn't ice it with the FT. Tennessee still had a shot to win. Even if he hit both, he wouldn't have iced anything other than ensuring we wouldn't lose in regulation.

Expectation on the second free throw is close to meaningless, I think. Missing it makes it more difficult for Tennessee to score at all, but of course then if they do score they win on the spot. It probably doesn't matter much overall. I'd actually prefer to miss, personally, with 2.x seconds left on the clock and a 2 point lead.
Of course, if you want to miss, you may as well miss the first one, so obviously this wasn't the plan.
edit: no, actually, you should make the first, miss the second. This is because of the possibility that you rebound the miss and get fouled. Then you're up two shooting to make it a four point game. Therefore, Stauskas played those FTs perfectly. Go blue.
but I wil take it. GO BLUE!
He missed the second one but whatever POSBANG!
Whew! I'm gonna have a beverage and calm down.

for me. Too nervous to enjoy one during that 2nd half!

Definitely. They'd have probably gotten a much better look off a made free throw.
But you want style points.
They scored more points than Tennessee. They won the game.
That's a fun new tradition, which I think is fun to see in late game timeouts. Thanks, Mitch!

My tv monitor took some serious verbal abuse when them refs didn't overturn that possession (so...freakin....obviously...off....of...tennessee...). I would've been scarred had we not won this one.

This .gif is so much better when you position your screen to view simultaneously this and the post above with the team singing The Victors.
Need a stiff drink after that one! Where are my glycerin pills?

actor that was ice viii instead of the more typical allotrope, my secret is now out.....
By the way, Derrick Walton should get himself a posbang for shooting perfect from the floor and coming up huge all game on the offensive end.

Take care of the ball, son.
