Why didn't MT make that pass to CJ late in the game?

Everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about. Thornton came up with a steal and drove the court and had CJ way out in front of him. Instead of passing it off for an easy bucket, he kept it and went up for a layup that was blocked out of bounds.


Did we end up scoring on that possession? Was that when Terry Martin got the goaltend call?

CJ wasn't that far ahead of him. Better to finish up the high percentage layup than make the scoring attempt more complex than it needs to be.

That was just a very good play by the Tenn player of blocking the shot without getting the foul called.

It was the perfect SportsCenter top 10 plays moment. I was hoping he'd lob it up and let CJ slam it home. Ah well.

don't know why he didn't pass it. Johnson had an easy dunk. But, we scored on that possession b/c i made a point to notice. 2 foul shots, don't remember who hit them.

the correct answer was he made a mistake not passing it up. no question about it. if he had it to all over again im sure he would have. but frick it we won.

re-watching it, it appeared that Thornton kept looking left and over his left shoulder. He may not have seen Johnson.
