Both dozen TV viewers will probably be upset.

Last place in the Big Ten, beat writers hinting that Tyler Cook might be gone. Awesome finish to the year!

Hopefully Fran finds a way to run off Wagner / Moss / Dailey and then we can have Pemsl as our token half-black guy on a roster of 13 players!

I know it's been about the worst season in memory and nobody has given a damn for weeks, but still fuck Northwestern.

Crispin: "You went up to the foul line and you heard 'Chris' in the stands, did you miss the free throw on purpose?"

bohannon: "Obviously that's not my record to have. Obviously that record deserves to stay in his name. I've been really close to his family the last couple of years and getting to know them a lot and listening to his story honestly and it's really gotten me emotional these past couple of games because I know what I wanted to do. Obviously it was a different time than I wanted to do it but that's something I wanted to do and it's been an honor to get to know his family."

That's good shit.

Good win, hopefully they can pull off a couple games in the BTT and finish in a positive way.

I have been hard on bohannon, but with that interview after the game confirming he missed the free throw on purpose and the love he showed the Street family and Fran, he isn't going anywhere. Good for him and like that kid no matter what going forward.

Completely meaningless sentimental garbage. Jordan is Zach, Zach is Jordan.

Intentionally missing the front end of a 1 and 1 when you are up 8 with 2 minutes left is pretty retarded. Glad it didnt matter.

I knew it smelled like a Zach move. Completely meaningless, and ultimately self aggrandizing.

Honoring someone is great but if you throw it so they can keep the record i feel like there should be an asterisk

This has seemed like the correct and obvious result to me for a long time. Also keep in mind Street never actually missed. His streak is active.

It has always seemed to me to be the appropriate statistical legacy. Love that an Iowa kid and legacy tied it and did this. I’m pretty certain no one will ever break it now on this precedent. Not that it’s easy to get to 34 straight free throws anyway.

They share the record. It is the best case scenario.

It matters to at a minimum Street's parents and family. That should be more than enough for people that never got to see their son/brother grow old.

This is what makes the intentional miss completely acceptable and honestly pretty damn cool IMO.

As someone who had a step brother killed in Iraq at a similar age to Street and has seen how little things like this mean a lot to the families of those that lost someone I applaud Jordan.

While the difficulty of breaking Nile Kinnicks interception record is much more difficult than a single free throw, Kirk said in 2015 after King tied it that that’s a record that doesn’t need to be broken.

Yeah I get that. It doesn’t bother me that he did it, just making conversation. In my mind/memory street has always been about more than that free throw record.

It’s unlikely anyone ever breaks it now

Jesus. It’s way to honor his parents, and a tip of the cap to a kid who didn’t get a chance to take the record to 44 or 54 or whatever it would have been because he got killed.
