It may be coincidence that this topic came up this week, but by rule, the only way that #1 SC could have won their game against unranked Missouri with a tenth of a second left on the clock was with a tip or a tap,
That means that a team could really use a player who can get above the rim to touch the ball as it goes in, or to deflect it in.
The inbounding passer should have aimed for the basket and had their dunker/jumper stationed under it ready to leap up to touch, tap or direct the ball into the cylinder.
Rule 5-1.19 was displayed on the screen at the 1:42:38 mark, which states:
0.3 second scoring requirements
When play resumes by a throw-in or free throw with 0.3 seconds or less on game clock, a player...
- may not hold the ball and attempt a shot
- may only score by means of a tip or tap.
