On the 'no call' mugging of Q in the final seconds of OT. I was wondering why in the world Howland didn't just go off on the zebras as the resulting runout had ended the game anyway. But as I thought about it my mind went back to another game. Remember the 'miracle 3' game where, you might recall, we were in the exact same situation up 3 and literally hammered a bama player at half court to try and put them on the line but no call much to Stans dismay. Bama swished the 3 and on to overtime.
Is it possible Howland might have understood the refs were trying to do us a favor with a no-call in that situation to preserve the chance for a game tying 3 and that's why BH didn't seem too upset about it? Be that as it may, it would have been nice to have that TO back in that situation that Q called that the announcers were scratching their heads over earlier in the OT. That is another costly mistake that doesn't show up on the stat sheet.
