A lot of coaches don't do 2-for-1 because they'd rather have one good offensive possession than two rushed ones, which is what you get a lot.
I can see that if you get the ball with 50 seconds left and rush something in 10 seconds - NBA guys with a 24 second clock are more used to shorter time frames.
In this case, they got the ball with just over a minute and had 25 seconds to work with, and used all 25 to shoot a rushed, contested layup anyway that they could have shot 10 seconds earlier when they were just standing in one place dribbling. I'd day most of the time, if you aren't rushing that possession, college teams are taking the air out of the ball and not really executing much.
I thought equally bad was UNC shooting too early and giving themselves a chance to lose when the worst case scenario should be OT. But they got the offensive rebound. And then the next one and the next one.
I believe on the last missed foul shot, the clock was the same as it was for us against Clemson - 1.7 left (Clemson might have been 1.6). Got the rebound, called immediate TO with 1.0 left, prayer answered. Cotton apparently wanted a 70-footer. Unless the graphic was wrong and PC didn't have a timeout left, in which case Cooley wasted his last one to ice the shooter - which is a mind-numbingly stupid mistake college coaches make sometimes too.
