Dittoes, congrats KU!
Aside from the free throws, I want to get your opinion. If I recall, there were 2.1 seconds left in regulation when Kansas tied with the 3 pointer. Memphis had three times-out remaining. Didn’t call one of them.
I know that you can’t advance the ball in college like you can in the pros, but why not call the T.O. anyway, at least they’d get a better shot than they did...and there’s no way in hell that Kansas is going to try and foul them, as for the most part Memphis was making their throws (and Kansas DIDN’T have any TO’s left).
Interesting that the inverse of Chris Webber happened...instead of taking a timeout when you don’t have one, you don’t take a time out when you have THREE.
Thoughts?
And don’t forget the terrible clock management by Memphis at the end of the first half, where they had the ball for the last 20 seconds, and couldn’t get a decent shot off.
So many “what ifs” for Memphis.
Calipari messed at the end of regulation. He did not tell his players to foul Kansas allowng the three pointer for the tie and as you mentioned not calling time out.
