It's not the play but when it was attempted. Clock was on LSU's side. Should have used way more clock on that possession. Coach Wade acknowledged he should have called a timeout an reinforced that idea with team.

The reality is when you live on the edge of a cliff, eventually you're going to fall off. I think this loss may turn out to be what they needed to wake up and realize their play needs to rise to another level.

Are we? I think you need to stop trying to label people or put us all in a group. We all have our own opinions. Much like your opinion on this matter- which is horse shite.

If the game was tied it was a risk reward play but LSU was ahead by 1 with 36 seconds left in game. Arkansas would have fouled someone if waters doesn’t pass it.


And???

Our team’s FT% is still a better option than a half-court alley-oop.

Was it dumb? Yeah.

But if they landed that alley oop they would have brought the house down.

It needed to be A LOT better pass - it was five feet to the left of the rim and two feet above it.

This wasn't driving the lane and dishing it to an open man standing under the basket - the pass was from almost 50 feet. It would have been hard to pull off on an empty court. The risk wasn't worth the reward in that situation.

Taking time to get a high % shot is in no way," going conservative ".

Exactly. Should have run a play with I think 22 seconds on the clock. Also on the last possession why doesn't CWW call a time out after the miss or the 2md miss where Reid throws up a fade away 3 pointer?

The alley oop isn’t a show boat play if you have players that can execute it. It’s often an easy bucket.
Waters threw the pass from one step inside half court. That's very high risk, my man.

Right? A half court alley oop is hard to do with just 2 people on the court.
