Yeah, I get it. But it didn't work and Duke subsequently drilled a three. We nearly lost because of it. Instead of a seven point lead with 30 seconds to go, we have a 2 point lead with 40 seconds to go. It's like being in the lead in a football game late and going for it on fourth down. Yeah, it could work and seal the game. But why not punt and pin a team deep? I.e. make them do something extraordinary to win- not make it easier for them.
I love that our guys played hard and that Forbes lets them work. But that leads to the occasional dumb decision. The lob was one of those decisions. But Hunter played flawless basketball. It was unreal to watch
