i posted earlier how i thought kane from iowa st was shaving , now tell me im wrong about that sparty free throw at the end that was top 10 worst free throw ever to seal a cover ...... thoughts?

[CMNoney]

He was told to miss.

[Justin3587]

God fukkin dammit man. You need to stop. He missed on purpose, it's a lot harder to catch a board and heave a ball in one second than inbound and toss one. FML this forum is gonna be the death of me.

[Dirty Sanchez]

No...he was doing it so the ball went into play automatically and the play clock started....with 1.3 left there was no time for the rebounder to be able to move the ball the full length of the court......Nice Conspiracy Theory though

OP you want to borrow my account?

Show me the last time someone hit a full court inbounds play with 1 sec left for a three pointer on a big stage. No reason to miss the free throw on purpose. Fine if you miss it naturally but its shady and you can justify it anyway you want but youre truly stupid if you dont think sports are corrupt

plz stop commenting you are just like the OP, makes sense your a duke fan, anyways they missed it because it's impossible to put up a heave with 1.4 seconds after rebounding it.

and its highly likely hes going to hit a full court inbound pass for 3 though? Your duke comment proves you believe in stereotypes and are ignorant so I dont know if i should even respond to you because your stupidity has leaked out

[RollinDo]

I didn't see what happened, but I can already tell that people think the every game is centered on the betting world and these guys play the games to screw bettors. Unreal.

Not screw bettors, to make money. Plain and simple, theres a huge difference between the two in a down economony

It makes sense to miss on purpose there, remember the clock starts as soon as the ball is rebounded, meaning team has to go length of the floor. If he makes it and it becomes dead ball, team can heave a long pass to frontcourt (or even around midcourt, you can make two dribbles in two seconds) before clock starts.

There was 1.4 secs left, I doubt you are making more then one dribble and that would only be if you caught the ball in the perfect position. Also like I said before only one of the two options you can lose the game. They are both highly unsuccessful, but my point is there is not a sane argument to why that way is better. If he had missed the free throw naturally, then I wouldnt of said anything but to have people think it was a smart strategy is what made me make my comments

OK, even at 1.4, why even give a team a chance to make a long pass before clock runs? Plus they can't really set up a play off of a rebound.

[goduke]

True but which one loses the game? Only the intentional miss. Let me ask you this, if he hits a three quarter court shot to win the game, would anyone say that missing is a smart strategy?

[thetitanlb]

Strategy says to miss that shot duke. I feel you main man. I got absolutely destroyed today on some penetrating bs. Just let it go you are wrong on this one.

[RollinDo]

Do you think anyone from either team was concerned at all about the point spread down the stretch? These kids give their heart and soul to their programs and all they wanna do is advance to the next round. This thread is a complete joke.

Yes because it was a percentage move. If he makes the foul shot and the team completes a pass over the midcourt line without the clock running, it should be an easier shot than a backcourt heave.

But again only one way has a chance to lose the game. That is my point.

What strategy? Is there a book? Miss the shot lose the game or hit the free throw give up a miracle shot and go to overtime. I didnt bet on this game so people who make that comment please dont bother. My point to this argument is to the people who think this is some sort of great strategy and justify it as that. It is not

You cant win this argument because the play he called was successful ie they won not giving up any points. Maybe you are right - it was a stupid play - it was definitely cynical and unnecessary - but he called it and it "worked".

[LT Profits]

But again only one way has a chance to lose the game. That is my point.

And my point is the likelihood of making a backcourt shot is less than making a shot after a completed pass, not to mention many teams have set plays for those situations when allowed to inbound the ball. And also, missing the shot is not the only way to lose because inbound pass may also lead to three-point shot with so little time left...only a better one.

[pick4player]

i just think make the free throw ... the worst that can happen is the heave it 3 1/4 of the court and make it and ot ,,,, why give them a chanse to to toss it up and make it,,,, the line did go from msu -2 to msu -2.5 so a missed ft there is huge..

Sorry, bad math on my part. But my original point stands.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The only people who thought Izzo made a bad call were the unfortunate bastards who were laying 2 1/2 on Sparty. Mich St Fans , Players and Virginia backers rejoiced with the decision. The fact of the matter is that the decision locked up the win and cashed Virginia tickets. Coach em up Tom , Coach 'em up.
