I watched that play over and over and it looked like Sam did not get the shot off in time from that camera angle. Glad the refs called it a basket, but I could understand how the Jays could feel they got robbed however it was a close call either way.
Im thankful the camera quality / angle was fairly poor and inconclusive. My guess is he was still touching with the middle finger but not enough to turn over the floor call
Are you really thankful though??
There is absolutely no way someone can catch a ball at the top of their jump, come down from that jump to the ground, jump again and release a shot in .8 seconds. It's impossible. Timekeeper had to be a second slow. My head thinks Creighton was jobbed and feels a little sorry for them. My heart, however, is filled with joy. I've watched well over 1000 MU games and this game (down 3, .8 seconds left, the opponent with possession - are you kidding me?) was easily the most improbable win I've ever witnessed. Awesome!!!
Yep, and I think Wojo is 10-0 in OT games.
Lost to Georgetown and Butler in OT Wojo's first year. Since then you are correct, 10-0!
He didn't get it off. Caught a break. You can zoom in. Looks pretty definitive to me.Oh well lolhttps://twitter.com/__sindelar/status/1083219880105725952?s=19
Sam's shot should not have been called good (attached). I thought it was still on his finger tips - and it was. This makes up for some of the other bad calls against us in the game. Awesome game!
That is certainly not conclusive and it's impossible to tell if his fingers are still touching the ball from behind his hand. The only angle that would tell you that is from directly to the side of Sam looking across the court. You can't see the front of Sam's fingers, so there's really no way to tell if they're still touching the ball or if the ball is a millimeter out of his hand.
I was shocked we had Markus inbounding the ball on that play? Wonder what the thought was there?
Was just going to post the same thing. It all happened so fast and worked out but truly mind boggling to me why he would be inbounding. Had Sam missed the shot this would have been a major question to be asked.
I think the ball is definitely on his fingertips. He hasn't fully flicked the wrist to release the ball.
