I'm pretty sure it's similar to what all of us were doing/thinking.

Wonder what it would have looked like if he made it. He was hanging in suspense for a half second there before losing it.

Again, just about the worst decision he could have made.   Holding it, taking it to the rack, running some offense..... all better choices.   Hell, throwing it directly out of bounds at least gives a chance to set the defense.

It looks like he was going to transition to a MJ over Ehlo jumping fist pump.

Cool with not laying on it.  But dump it in to Fisher or drive it, s'il vous plait.

The clock isn't visible in the clip, but per the espn timeline, there was a 12-second differential and :37 when he pulled it: http://espn.go.com/ncb/playbyplay?gameId=400827731&period=2

If that's correct, I still fail to understand why its such a bad shot. It was wide open, and you probably don't get a better shot all possession, especially considering you've turned it over 3 of the last 4 possessions (and haven't been making your free throws). There was enough time that you were going to have to take a shot and still give LSU enough time to come back down the floor. Up only 1, a three ends the game, whereas anything else still opens the door to OT (without two of your best players) or losing.

I get that the team absolutely didn't handle the end of the game well, but if the timeline on espn.com is right, the hate on that shot is just piling on and not particularly on point.

You're up 1.  You have a wide open lane to the basket with your center on the other side of the hoop and only 1 defender remotely close to being able to make a play on either.  Drive it, if the defender comes, dump it to your center, if he doesn't, drop finish the layup, or even better, run some clock and look for something going to the rim.

Simmons's end to end dunk reminds ners of himself in high school.

In the clip, you can see Fischer on the near block, with Simmons between him and the basket, so Simmons will still be there to D up the drive, plus one additional defender who would have beat Wilson to the basket.

I'm not going to be so obtuse as to ignore that the drive would arguably have been as good as the three, but it was still more or less a 2 on 1.5, wouldn't have been as wide open and wouldn't have put the game out of reach anyway. Just don't think you can chalk it up as comparable to the TOs, etc., in terms of end of game management.

If we ended up losing, Wojo would have made Du wear nothing but tighty whities at the next practice.
Have some patience, FFS.

Exactly.

Except that Fischer is in the near block, not the far block. That's a big difference because Fischer would have likely had to clear out to the near wing if he saw Wilson drive, so as to force Simmons to make a decision. Based on that positioning, its tough to see a scenario where Fischer can get in a position to receive the ball within striking distance of the hoop unless it was following up a contested layup from Wilson.

Wojo might've danced down the sideline a la Buzz after DJO's dunk against Louisville.

Beat me to it.  Same thing came to my mind.

He's already a t-shirt behind the rest of the team, based on that one practice clip.  Maybe Wojo will reverse course and put him in snow boots and a full parka so he can't shoot at all.
