UConn-ND # 3...The question no has asked

[Brad Palmer]

When UConn had the ball with 18 seconds left coming out of the timeout, why was a play even drawn up to score right off the bat? Conventional wisdom says just get the ball inbounde and then kill time until 5-8 second mark before running your play/attacking; if you miss, the worst case scenario is OT.

I don't remember any reporters even asking Geno this question.

Oh reporters. Well there you go.

It was hashed and rehashed on here plenty.
