I just watched the replay and charted our offensive possessions following the under 4 minute TO plus both OTs.
Gilbert ISO crossover long 2 miss. Bouknight/Carlton somehow force Xavier to lose the ball out of bounds. Carlton gets ball, makes decent move, right hook off back rim. He gets a follow. Misses.
Gilbert gets rebound. Transition opportunity. 4 on 4. But Gilbert has a big on him. He takes him 1v1, misses layup, big either gets a block or changes shot.
Polley hits 3 off the pindown to give us 5 point lead with 1:30 left.
Vital ISO 3 with 6 seconds left on the shot clock with announcer saying "That cannot possibly be what Hurley drew up!"
Gilbert is fouled up 1 with 30 seconds left. He makes both. Clutch.
Gilbert dribbles the ball up court, crosses at 12 seconds, ISOs, attacks with 3 seconds left, beats his man, blocked by weakside defender.
Bouknight is fouled away from basket. Makes 2 FTs.
GIlbert tries ISO. Nothing. Vital tries ISO. Nothing. Vital drives, draws defender, and dishes to Carlton with 5 seconds on shot Carlton travels. Pass was a bit high, but Cartlon had his hands ready to catch and just kinda missed it then shuffled his feet when the Xavier guy rotated over. Carlton fouls out on next defensive possession.
Gilbert ISO 3 with less than 10 seconds on the shot clock. Short, not close.
Gilbert drives ISO with mismatch against 6'8" Carter. Gets by him with long steps, but then tries to use right hand on left side to lay it in. Shot blocked.
Gilbrt leads 4 on 3 break after miss. At 3pt line, passes to open Bouknight on the wring. Bouk drives and gets ugly move blocked.
Gilbert ends up with it after a weave. Runs pick and roll. Drives against backup Xavier big. Big goes straight up, Gilbert does a hanging fall away larup attempt, miss.
Brandon Adams and Bouknight double and force a turnover that Gilbert grabs. Is fouled. Makes both FTs.
30 seconds left, Gilbert drives going nowhere, dishes to Adams in corner. Airball. Rebound Bouknight, miss.
Gilbert drives with 20 seconds left, draws foul (misses layup). Makes both FTs. Honestly really soft foul call against Carter.
Polley almost turns it over on tight inbounds pass. Polley misses 3. Bouknight 3 point play including onions FT.
Bouknight gets ball on a curl. Tries to finish over 2 guys. Miss.
Gilbert offensive foul, hooking his defender on a drive somehow.
Polley bricks a 3.
Vital steal in the backcourt, gets fouled, and makes both.
Vital drives, kicks to Sidney Wilson who drives and takes a terrible floater facing 90 degrees away from basket, Vital oreb misses follow, Adams oreb to Polley for missed 3, Bouknight rebound and layup. Huge 4th attempt.
Vital drives and is blocked trying to use his right hand on left side of basket.
Gilbert ISOs for 5 seconds, goes nowhere then passes to Polley. Polley panics and throws it back to Gilbert. Gilbert bailed out because defender hit is elbow on a 3pt attempt. Makes all 3. Clutch FTs.
Bouknight gets the ball with 10 seconds left in shot clock, hangs and hits a tough banker to put us up 1.
Gilbert loses dribble. Vital gets it. Very obviously travels. They don't call t. Throws up a shot. MIss. Sid's rebound misses. Game over.
