re: Was KU holding up with 5-4 edge greatest display of sportsmanship in history?

I don’t think sportsmanship had anything to do with it. They had the ball with 50 seconds left with a full shot clock. They wanted to burn clock.

When you have a clear 5 on 4 advantage, and they are missing their big, you go score quickly, which also ensures you get the ball back with under 30 seconds left and the shot clock off. It's the 2 for 1 scenario they had in front of them with a very clear advantage.

I took it as they let him get back out of sportsmanship.
