Because these games weren't in the regular season and Cassius was better. He's a stud who can go off and get his shot whenever he wants but he was a mess for most of the last month.
The foul was a little too early but it's pretty much a 50/50 deal whether to foul or not to foul with nothing definitive and a shit ton of variables. The fact that Virginia was beating them up on the boards gives you more reason to play it out but they still had to have a lot go right. Plus Virginia was in the 1 and 1 still so it improves the odds a little. The way it played out, Clark was passing from his backcourt with 2 seconds left in a scramble. His other options were for a half court shot, he made a great pass to a non-shooter for a rushed 12 footer to tie. A lot of shit went right or wrong for that to happen.
Yeah his efficiency dropped off a cliff toward end of the season and the team got bounced early in the conference tourney. I had them getting knocked out early in my bracket because they looked like such a mess. Really impressive how he turned it around once the tournament started, that was an all time great individual run. Especially against UVA where they had a legit NBA level defensive wing in Hunter on him for most of the game.
I’d say the stats lean the absolute opposite of this as long as the foul comes with 4 seconds or less. It’s absolutely the right thing to do in a college game.
NLP wanted to see it in theaters
Love it
“blacks work while whites watch” pre-dates Sparty quite a bit
LOL at Duke being at 3 fouls with 5 seconds left now.
I was tired of people obsessing over him, but he was fun to watch.
He’s a unique talent. 6’7”, 285 lbs. & extremely quick. There’s really no one to compare him too.
I'm sure there are plenty of players to compare him to that lost in the elite 8
