One of the strangest endings ever

He probably wasn’t the first or second option. Most likely a look he’s probably going to be open and if he is let’s do it. He was wide open. I mean it seemed too good to be true. I guess it was.

I’d rather Carlton take a 15 footer than a walk on who has played 2 minutes all year even have a 5% chance of getting open against a ranked team on the road and a chance to tie.

3M a year he draws a play up for a walk on as an option. Why is the walk on not inbounding they ball?

would you have preferred a dribble drive to nowheresville from one of our team leaders? Those worked so well for us in the last 3 min of the game.

He was the last option of the play. No one else got open. Bizarre no doubt but the prophecy at halftime of walkons playing a role in the end of the game in the BY chat was prescient by whoever made it...
 
The play was definitely not run for him - what are you guys watching? We could barely get the ball in and at the last second threw it to him because he was wide open. Carlton was the only guy that could’ve been in the game over him; we have 9 scholarship players and 3 of them had fouled out.

For sure. But like I said. Had he made it you all would be saying totally different things. I'm upset about the loss too but everyone needs to put down their pitchforks.

I’m not blaming the kid. He was ice cold, and thrown into flames.
 
i’d honestly rather a walk on shoot, cause he’d be open, than have to make an inbounds pass but both are way way way down on the list of to do

He was in to foul.
5 seconds was called.
Couldn’t sub him out.
Ball ended up in his hands with a wide open look.
He missed.
Game over... leave the kid alone.

Didn't Houston call a timeout after the 5 seconds? I didn't notice him in on the 5 seconds maybe i missed it but if he was they could have subbed him out
 
I could also be very wrong the last 10 minutes of this game have made me dumber. May god have mercy on my soul.

Kid was in the game to foul. Relax

lol so we are defending a coach putting in a walkon, not having him inbound the ball and take a game tying jump shot in a conference game. This is what you are defending lol. We got what we deserve.

what are you saying? This is stupid. We’re you watching the game? You play offense before you play defense when you are inbounding... you need 4 options not 3.

Why can't you sub at the whistle after a 5 seconds call? I thought you can sub at any whistle?
 
That was one of the worst coached games I’ve ever seen. Sooo many questionable decisions. Why did Hurley switch back to man to man after Houston couldn’t even get a shot off against the zone look for 3 straight possessions? Seemed like Houston was trying to give us the game and we just couldn’t take.

With these refs I'm sure Hurley wouldn't have been able to tie his shoes if he needed to under five seconds.

Almost as indefensible as KO not filling 2 scholarships in the same season or recruiting 3 kids who had significant recurring injuries.
 
Yea, it was a bit shocking. BUT. I convinced myself there is no way we pull this game out, no matter what play or player was involved. As long as Houston had time left, I wager the refs would personally score on their behalf.
 
I think Danny wanted someone to space the floor so he chose Temi over Carlton, the ball just ended up in Temi’s hands.
 
Yeah idk
