A number of critical individual plays today, plus some collective ones that impacted the game.
The last 2 are more important but since it says play of the game I'll vote for an actual play.
Morrow's and 1 for me followed by Morrow's block. Joey's final corner 3 is up there too

Almost put Joey's 3 up there, but honestly not sure it really was a 3. In the record books it was, but my eyes telling me it was real close.

Morrow's block saved it. Morrow's put back won it.
I voted Morrow's put back because it was huge. I don't think we win without it, it was that important in that moment.
That being said, I rewound a couple times when I watched the game. Did he travel on the play? It looked like a lot of steps, but I guess you could argue he was fighting for control of the ball? Not sure, honestly asking for opinions on the play.

A lot of interesting posts in this history....

Has anyone giffed this? I want to see the slow-motion dejection on Happ's face.
Morrow's block was a big time play. Really was a game changer.
I would have to go with Morrow's block, followed by his putback. I think it would've been his putback at the buzzer, but Markus went too late on the final play of regulation. That shot should've went up with 4 seconds left which would've given Morrow time to get the putback but not enough time for anything more than a desperation heave for UW-M.

I think this is the start of the play, Morrow did a lot considering where Happ is with the ball already if this is the right picture.

I am 98% sure that picture is from when we gave up the layup with like 5 seconds left in overtime. Happ made that one. 6:28 PM is way too late to have been in regulation. And that's too far to the right of the court and Happ took off with a jump stop, feet together on the block, not a running, 1 leg in front of the other position.

I get this but I disagree with the way the refs were calling that 2nd half. He misses that shot and we get an over the back foul and we lose the game.
That picture is not from the block play. That is the last shot that Happ made at the end of OT after Morrow hit his FTs with 5 seconds left to make it 73-69. You can tell because the clock in the background shows 6:28 PM. The block occurred around 6:02 PM with 36 seconds left in regulation. It does beg the question as to why it took them almost a half an hour to play 5 minutes of basketball.

Man that video is incredible the way he spins into that block in one fluid motion. I take my vote back and vote for this play
Considering how good Happ is around the basket that's 2 points about 999 times out of 1000. Just an incredible play at a huge point in the game. Morrow was the difference yesterday
I sincerely hope the endgame gives Ed a ton of confidence. Even those two free throws at the end after all his teammates tightened up. 'Do I have to do everything around here?' All good.

A review for a punch in the nuts will add a little time
Easily Morrow's block on Happ. He didn't have a massive stat line, but arguably made two of the biggest plays in the game pretty much consecutively.
