Anybody that thinks that that last shot was "luck" should go throw themselves into the Montlake Cut.
You mean that nobody doubled the only guy that Nevada was going to shoot? What a weird concept?????
Again, this team has so little understanding of the game defensively, it's just comical.
Let's count the ways that we're fucktarded defensively on the last possession ...
Normally in such a situation, you wall up and eliminate dribble penetration ... we invite it
Very clear that Thuybule (I don't give a shit what his name is right now) was shading the player off of his strong hand and forcing him baseline ...
Our big guarding up top on the initial play design of a high ball screen to trigger a switch of the PG onto a big (how sad is it that the opposition knows how putrid we are defensively that we almost always switch and that's as simple of a play call to draw up possible) did a good job initially allowing room and an opportunity to not switch ... but then fell into the Romar staple defense of denying the pass back up top and therefore staying out of a position to help on anything going to the basket ...
Fultz was guarding a player clearing the side for the PG ... if you freeze the play as the play takes place, you'll notice that Fultz is unaware of what is happening behind him and is in no position whatsoever to provide help to Thuybule in the event that he gets beat to the basket ...
The other 2 defenders on the weakside are not really in any position or have the awareness to show that they are going to be there to provide help ... that gives the PG at least the confidence that he can attack the basket without running into a dead end ...
The stupidity of the whole thing is that at no point in that situation do you shade an offensive player in a tie game to go to the basket ... you wall up and force them to take a contested jump shot because the difference between a 2 and a 3 at that point is nothing ... your only goal defensively is to force the opposition into as low percentage of a shot as possible ... the further away that is from the basket and contested is the right way to go.
Did Nevada make a tough shot? Absolutely. But that shot should have never happened.

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttt
he made a tough shot
An off balance 10-12 footer for game for a guy with 30+ points already and probably wants the ball in his hands in that situation? Not THAT tough of a shot.

It's a tough shot, but that's nor hear nor there. The fact that UW let him have the ball so easily and drive te lane is just pathetic.

Agree with you that it's not an easy shot ... but anybody that tries to make it out to be the most difficult lucky shot in the world is foolish.
