Tre vs Butler..we are not in without that
Sean vs Arizona..tougher than it looked, much could go wrong
Tre vs Creighton (loss)..showed butler not a fluke
Tre vs Seton Hall (we needed every win)
Tre vs Creighton(win..Feb) forgotten now..could not get ball in at end but won anyway

The ball accidentally bouncing up and in off the floor against Gonzaga needs to be on the list.

If that Macura full courter counted then Gonzaga fans at halftime would be thinking fate is out to get them.

Ed splitting FT's against Mizzou at the end of OT.

Is this due to importance? Or just impressive? Tre's buzzer beating 3 at half against UC was kinda cool.

this thread should be called "Whopper's Top 5 Plays of the Year" haha

Importance This season was on a razor's edge. Even Sumner splitting that pair in November if it went the other way would have put us in the play in game. Seton Hall, Butler, and Creighton(all wins) had the opponent taking a last second shot to win, one of those 3 goes in and we are out(esp Butler). Our losses were pretty substantial so no one can say if the ball in a specific game went the other way we would have done better. We literally threaded the needle and I think Gonzaga would have beaten us 75-80 %of the time. A great year that showed that every point counted. Even the last second Creighton loss(impressive in Big East) probably flip flopped us with Providence..a 10 point loss would have put us in the PIG.

pause it at 0.1 seconds and the ball is 4-5 feet from J.P.'s hands.

Nah. It was pretty clearly late on replay. Didn't even think it was that tough of a call live.

The clock on the TV is .2 sec behind the actual game clock. Pause it when you can still see the time on the shot clock and you will see the TV graphic time is slow. Ball was in his hand on the actual clock.
