I remember when Dillon Brooks hit a 3 on Duke with the shot clock running out. K caught him in the handshake line and told him he was too good to take that shot. Fast forward Duke was playing some team up by like 20 with like 10 seconds left in game. Duke player dives in passing lane steals the ball flips it a head to a guy who goes in for a dunk. Didn’t see K bad mouthing his player just showed how K was about his team. Never saw him get on Gracie for tripping folks!!
Aberdeen's dunk at the end was "bush league" according to Tim Brando

What a ridiculous take from Brando.
It was a 5 point game.
Things happen. I mean just 5 mins before that we hit a prayer 3 that had like a 2% chance of going in.
You play until the final whistle.

imho, the cut off is at double digits. Anything less than that, you can put an exclamation point on it without disrespecting your opponent or the game.
Too much adrenaline in game. It was crazy. I’m fine with it no matter what but not a good take considering the crazy emotions of game. No one included their coach was thinking straight, including a little late TO and not fouling before the 3. Just too much going on for anyone to consider not scoring. End story.
It’s up to the losing team to decide if they want to let the game end. If they are still playing defense then they deserve to get dunked on.
What is it with twitter culture and just seeking out controversy wherever it can be harvested? Exhausting Effing losers; the whole lot of em
I agree and Brando is just whining about a non issue. The game was still within 5 points and emotions run a little high in those scenarios. If Santa Clara was triggered by Aberdeen tough sh*t.
Sounds like Brando lost money because he bet on a specific spread.
Exactly. There were 8 pts scored in the last 10 secs of regulation.
Sadly, hot takes have overtaken common sense and pragmatism in the social media age. Combine the fact that our society no longer places any significance on learning the laws of logic with decreased attention spans and you have sports fandom in 2026…idiocy masquerading in broad daylight as intellectually valid arguments.
Tim Brando can eat a fat one! Absolutely nothing wrong with that dunk! Hell they could have cut it to a one possession game before that turnover.
I don’t know why this ever became “the thing to do” anyway…play til the damn horn goes off. Has always aggravated me, especially during games when walk-ons are playing…they hardly get court time, then they’re expected to stand there and dribble the clock out.
“Oh, I’ll forego this wide open layup, because I don’t want to hurt your feelings by scoring.”
Just complete BS. Screw Tim Brando
MSU had a last 2nd dunk just now , is that the same as Aberdeen?
Next time we get a breakaway that will lead to a dunk, our player needs to stop and clear it with Tim Brando first.
Brando is turning into the next Keith Olberman. An unhinged, nonsensical, bitter old man.
I've seen that exact play in that exact same situation dozens of times (maybe hundreds) since I started watching hoops in the early 80s. No one has ever complained about it until recent years. Some people just aren't happy unless they have something to be offended by these days. Absolutely NOTHING bush league about it!
This is my thought. Out of all the the things to focus on after a game as great as that game, I find it mystifying that’s what Brando decides to talk about.
He must have had a stroke watching the USC women’s team today that kept scoring in a game that ended up a 69 point win.
Most people hate when UK wins
Let me give a measured response...I don't give a **** what Brando thinks
Teams always have and will do it to us when they win, not a thing is ever said about until Kentucky does it. Brando is bush league for saying anything about it.
Brando been a UK hater for years it often showed in his commentary. He,s a piece of ****.
This meaningless Brando hissy fit over a last second dunk brought back memories of a truly beautiful last second dunk by James Lee in the 1978 championship game against Puke. A fabulous sight to see!

Sendek disrespected us by trying to win a game against his old employer! He also started whining in the press conference about his TO so that sounds disrespectful to the shot as well!
And you want us to believe you’re a Kentucky fan?!
Everyone knows you’re not. Stop the BS, troll!
We already had the GD ball anyway! He could NOT call a TO at that point! That announcer said it was a terrible no call lmao Read the rule book, retard. Think it was that ex dukie that played in the 70s.
Was listening to Cawood on the radio. Won this game long before the 3 point shot was enacted.
