One of the strangest endings ever

I think Danny wanted someone to space the floor so he chose Temi over Carlton, the ball just ended up in Temi’s hands.

You’re trying to defend the indefensible. A walk-on should not be in the game at all in critical moments like that. Of course Houston was going to bait us into giving him the ball.
 
The 5 on the floor at the end were the 5 in the game when the 5 second call was made. I don’t know if Hurley could sub with no time going off the clock or not. I think he can with the turnover and/or time out. But regardless, I’ll take a wide open shot by Aiyegbusi over Gilbert driving into 4 trees and turning it over or getting blocked.
 
Strangest line you’ll ever see in a game that came down to the (almost) last shot.

Not trying to defend it, just explaining what I think happened.

But didn't Houston call a timeout allowing Dan Hurley to substitute?

No, refs stopped to check the clock, confirmed no time had gone off, which also confirmed that Hurley couldn’t make the sub.
 
Now this poor kid has to go his entire reliving the moment he missed a game tying shot against a ranked opponent. He probably feels terrible right now.
 
We tried to take the walk on out after the 5 second call. There was no time out. Sampson wanted a technical (maybe looked like he was calling timeout but was really signaling that we should be teed up as it’s a similar look) for illegal substitution when we tried to take the walk on out...the refs talked and said we could not substitute since no time had run off so we were forced to keep him in the game.
 
Apparently the ref did not let us sub before the offensive possession

Why was he not inbounding the ball?

Why the walk on was in doesn’t matter the question is why was he not the inbounder? Even if he throws a bad inbounds it’s better that 4 shooters are out there than 3...

He should've just stood off to the side and let the big boys try and make a play

So you want a walk on to inbound the ball in the corner of UH's hoop with 7 seconds left? THAT is worse than the shot he took. And he didn't miss any worse than any of our other players who shot us to 30% from the field...

With Temi "letting the big boys play", we would have had a 5 second call or a live-ball turnover. With Temi being proactive, we got a wide open mid range shot from a guy who has taken it 10,000 times. No brainer. Sucks he missed but he did more than would be fair to ask of him.

a missed jumper is more than fair to ask of him? what the hell could he have done that was worse

Makes no sense. We struggle getting the ball in with our guys who play 30 minutes per game inbounding.

I think it's unfair to ask a walkon to sit for 39.8 minutes, be thrown into the game without being involved in the play call (Carlton was in the huddle and put into the game before being removed), still expect him to know what to do, dodge a close out from a 6'5" wing, and attempt the game tying shot.

Stop being a dick about it.

Hey, I like the guy and I've even met him before. Just saying that "he did more than fair of what could be asked" is pretty dumb when all he did was miss a game tying shot.

so you rather someone who has taken maybe 10 shots all year to take the biggest shot of his life v. Inbound the basketball? You can’t be serious.

We didn't have trouble inbounding the ball tonight. Now you want a walkon to pass it in from a tight angle? That makes no sense
 
It makes less sense having him take the shot with 7 seconds on the clock. Run offense. Don’t have a walk on take crucial shots.

he could of turned it over without getting the shot up. Pretty certain Gilbert or vital have done that 3 or 4 times this year.
