NCAA Tournament - Evening Games Open Thread

Submitted by LSAClassOf2000 on

I didn't see one yet, and I thought having a forum for general discussion of the evening games suvh as Butler / Marquette and Gonzaga / Wichita State (among others) might be convenient for all.

Down 4 with 4.9 seconds to go, the ONLY chance a team has is to save the clock by inbounding the ball the length of the court near the bucket to score w/ some time left.  Nine times out of ten, you see teams implicitly concede by inbounding the ball in the back court and taking a zero-chance-to-win game-ending perfunctory three-point heave.

Yes, the length of the court pass is much harder to complete than the path-of-least-resistance ordinary back court inbound, but IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO WIN.  Why haven't most coaches/teams figured that out?

Butler almost pulled it off where most teams would have thrown in the towel.
