Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 5234358, member: 563"] You are moving the goalposts. I was responding to your claim UConn went 7 minutes without a FG, which is just blatantly wrong on it's face, as it was five minutes. Not to mention absurd considering UConn got 6 points in that five minute FG drought from the FT line. Further you claimed you would have had Hurley use a TO in that time frame. I broke down the possessions in that timeframe and showed, A) he did use a TO and B) he also got a TV timeout. After both timeouts he got good possessions with an open lane for a AK layup and an open three for a Ball three. AK didn't convert, which is a problem separate from anything Hurley could have done. Now if you want to shift to discussing the final two minutes, that is a different discussion all together and there is a single place Hurley could have used a TO better. They scored on a FT (not a horrid foul considering they were going to have Clayton open from three if Condon passed it as he was looking to do when Diarra ran into him). They hit one of two and got the Oboard, and were fouled and hit both. Now you could argue this is where Hurley should have called his final TO and set up a play. I honestly forget which shot UConn got here but I want to say it was a bit of a rushed McNeeley three. Clayton came down and hit a three, off balance. So sure, you can argue that is where Hurley should have used his final timeout. That however is a vastly different spot from your original point which I disagreed with. So, yes, when you move the goalposts and change the argument you are correct. [/QUOTE]
