Yes, that sure kept us alive. But we were still down 6, Clemson ball, with 1:33 on the clock. Can’t ignore great team defense, a clutch three by Reeves & 2 clutch threes by George for OT. And once back in the game, playing in foul trouble, Ndongo fouling out and these guys just never giving up in front of a hostile crowd and outmanned. GT won this game. Not going to blame (or credit) Hall for Clemson losing
Fouling three point shooters always creates a lot of fan outrage but it is not that uncommon of a thing. Seems like most games have that happen at least once.
We will definitely be shopping for bigs! Good news is that we finally have a budget to shop somewhere other Big Lots!
Yet none of that would have mattered if Chase Hunter doesn't miss his only free-throw of the game with less than 10 seconds to play.
They featured them on the broadcast i believe as well. The brothers combined for an 0-for from deep. Thanks to the whole family!
This wording misses the point that he was 7-7 prior to that and shoots almost 90% from the line.
That and having him shooting 3s at the end instead of going inside was also a break for us. He had practically a career game except for costing the tigers a win.
In close games you can always find a “what if” or two on either side. Which play or ref call you use for a single highlight out of 40 minutes of play (or (50 in 2OT) depends on whether you want to imply one team was simply lucky in its win or the other team threw its chance away. Or both. We do it even when our team wins.
I was more referring to our 'past' ability to play well against the Hoos. So far, we are playing well up and playing badly down against our competitors. Makes we worry that Team Hyde comes out to play.
No, I agree, I wasn't saying that at all.. When I went back and watched, we basically hit four threes in the last 2 minutes... Three FT's by Kyle, a trey by Wacie, and two treys by Nait.
It is remarkable we hit that many tough critical shots in such a compressed time period. Hats off to the guys!
And I think the biggest thing is chemistry. I don’t know if there was something wrong chemistry-wise with Love, but they seem to have much more of it this year.
That’s why I included that last sentence. Never thought you or anyone was trying to upstage such a hard fought great victory by saying GT had a lucky win. We all have thoughts or point out a single play or moment like that in close games that could have changed the outcome. Makes it sound as if we won by the sheer luck of our opponent making an error or fouling, or missing a shot or a field goal, or a referee/umpire blowing a call. When it happens at the end of the event it’s even worse. Don’t know why we do it, instead of just celebrating. We just do. Commentators do it. Journalists do it. So do players and coaches. So why not fans, I guess. It was such a great game maybe we just want to keep talking about it. In the end though, you can’t take the W away from the winner or the L from the loser. So no harm & no distraction.
We’ve had a couple of bad games. We’ve also been close in a bunch of losses.
I thought the jump ball forced by Deebo with just a couple minutes left, giving us the ball, was big time.
