Perhaps a quibble, since we don’t know for sure - but Newton had the ball in his hands and threaded the needle with the pass to Spencer as KU tried to jump the passing lane. I think he had the opportunity to keep it and go for the hero shot and easily say that the pass wasn’t there.  Whatever play we ran, the fallback option that day (and all season) was Newton creating something at the end of the clock.

I said this in real time right after the game, but I thought that passing it there was a good sign for the culture of the team, that Newton was setting the tone of not caring who gets the credit and trusting your teammates, even on “your night”. Cam did the same sort of thing in the opening game by taking one shot and passing all over the place.

That’s basically how the season played out - I almost never thought “selfish shot” all season. An occasional heat check or Hassan maybe being a smidge too aggressive off the bench every so often. But very very rare.
