He is not a 3 point shot creator in the ilk of Cle and Baker who were the ideal players to take that last shot but he is not what Gottlieb says he is.

We can beat ourselves over the head and debate this til we are sick to death of it.
Personally, I am just going to let it go as there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about changing the outcome of the game or second guessing what might have been.
We have had one of the MOST wonderful and exciting years of BB that we could have ever hopped for. Every Shocker fan should be so proud of this entire team to include every player, every coach, and every school official who contributed to our success.

However, there's fair questions and discussions going on. Hence, the message board.
But so proud, regardless. Got a great look anyway.Goo Shockers

I have watched the reply several times. I have a hard time thinking Cauley-Stein would not have gotten back and had a great chance to intercept the pass. A lob across half the court over a guy who seems to be about 8 feet tall is a long shot, at best. Even without Cauley-Stein, a lob off a sideline, halfcourt inbound would take a timing that is almost pure luck. I think I would take the decent look from three to win it. If he would have tried to throw a lob and we didn't get ANY shot, think about what this board would look like then.

I thought Early was going to the rim for the alley oop also. I've seen the Shockers play enough that during the timeout before it happened I was telling everyone around me that was going to be the exact play. The 12 year old Kentucky fan in front of me was wondering why I was telling everyone as if Calipari was going to hear me or something.
Cle started going to the basket and then popped out to the 3 point line. We got a pretty good shot and it is what it is. Nothing to complain about.Shocker fan for life after witnessing my first game in person, the 80-74 win over the #12 Creighton Bluejays at the Kansas Coliseum.

I wouldn't, what an amazing year, just want to play the "what if? Game"!Last edited by LandStander; March 26, 2014, 07:39 PM.I just want to stand on land...
@rjl:
If I had a gun with two bullets and was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and a Creighton fan, I think I'd shoot the Creighton fan twice.
