If I believed Jones ran off Coach CAL I'd send him money. Jones didn't run off Coach CAL. WE ran off that lousy carpetbagger.
The Oweh Shot

Man, check your posts prior to posting. They barely make sense. Just re-read it prior to hitting post...
Coaches are psychos. Pope drops his head for a second when it looks like we lost (understandable) but then just raises his arms briefly when Oweh makes NCAA history and gets back to work. Sendek paused when Oweh’s shot went in and then went back to work. You have to be a little nuts and just love the game amidst the uncertainty to be a coach.
Thought it was interesting to see that as well. Pretty cool seeing pope tell him you got it, you got it before the shot.
Kentucky ended up advancing to the Round of 32 with an 89-84 victory. The heroes came from likely and unlikely sources. Oweh was brilliant, notching 35 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. That's a stat line that hasn't been matched in the NCAA Tournament since a guy named Larry Bird for Indiana State. Pretty good player.
The next question is. Is Oweh our Kimba Walker?
Uconn was #7, had a meh year like UK. Kimba Walker took over in the touney. Unfortunately, they took a title from us.
I don't trust this team, but you never know lol

Heck, look at Oweh after the SC three. He was about to walk off the court and the ball came to him so he had to do something, lol. What a crazy sequence.

If you watch it very closely, when Sendek starts to raise his arms to call the time out Aberdeen already has the ball in his hands. So it doesn’t matter if they see him or not, it was too late.
CBS podcast last night brought up "it looked like the clock started late on the inbounds pass and would he even got the shot off on time if it started on time"
First time I heard anyone bring that up.

The Oweh shot will forever be amazing, but what happens tomorrow and beyond could move it from amazing to legendary.
Isn't it funny how when those things happens and when Kentucky actually gets away with a break, but when it happens against us, no one bats an eye?
Learn to take joy in the little things. One day you'll look back and find out that they were the big things. Many good teams had very close games including Duke VS Sienna, UNC lost and is out...laugh a little today while you watch UL go down.
I watched the replay several times just now. When Oweh shot went thru the net there was 9.9 left the clock stopped exactly right on this.
Then Santa Clara in bounded the ball he caught and turned before the clock started running then he took 1 dribble and still 9.3 were left.
So it isn't like the clock can start instantly when anyone touches the ball because you actually have a ref or a person someone who has to see it touch the player then he has to click it to start.
When Graves hit the 3 if you stop it after the ball is thru the net (That is when the clock is supposed to stop when it clears the net) there was 2.7 left but it ran down to 2.4. I don't hear anyone saying Kentucky should have had an extra 0.3 seconds.
Next when Owe gets it the clock starts pretty quickly of course he caught it and dribbled as it started someone again manually has to wait till he caught it then starts it. He was barely past the 3 point line it already was ticking down was at 2.3 at that point.
Lastly the ball is clearly way out of his hand at 0.4 left so for those who want to complain it started a tick late he had it out nearly half second before it went to 0.0.
Also ESPN giving him credit for only 32 feet is absurd and I hear CBS and other podcast siting this nonsense. This shot was much closer to 40 feet.
The 4th screen shot shows you and I measured with a tape measure he was 1.5" past the half court and was 2.5" away from the front of the 3 point line. The 3 point is 22 feet 1.75 inches and half court is 47 feet. That means there was just under 25 feet from half court to front of the 3 point line. If you divide that it equals just under 25 feet / 4 inches = approx just over 6 feet per inch. Thus he was 9 feet inside the half court.
That makes the shot 38 feet. The length goes by where you start your shot not where you land.

I pretty much hate all social media but watching all these reaction videos makes me wish cell phones were around for some of the biggest moments in our history.
Might have to start dabbling in some AI video to see if I can cook something up. Imagine seeing Vernon Hatton’s shot from the stands in Memorial lol

All it means is that there was no magic left for your beloved Candy Commodores.
