This photo should dispel any doubts about that final buzzer beater getting off too late:

His mouth is closed so I'm guessing he didn't call "glass"

Can we get a picture of the first time that happened, too?

But did the clock operator start the clock too soon
Retreat Hell! We just got here! The 2/5

I didn't realize there were doubts. It looked clear to me. What transpired before that was a big mess. Arguments can be made whether that helped or hurt each team. Either way, the odds were in Baylor's favor at that point.

Heck of a shot by that freshman. He is going to be good.

I don't think there's any question the clock situation hurt Baylor and helped ISU. A full court heave with 1.7 seconds vs an extra time-out, plus a set play with half-court inbounds and 1.2 seconds. Not to take anything away from ISU. This debacle was all on the refs and clock operator. And count or not, that was a great set play and great shot.

So you think he meant to bank it off the backboard?

I always coached that it took 1.5 to do anything but turn and shoot. It takes 2 seconds to pass and shoot or one dribble and shoot. The play the coach called was impossible.

That is one goofy looking dude.

But one heckuva gifted player. Hoping he's not a 4-year player for ISU because he will give us fits.

His fade away is outstanding and almost impossible to defend. Comparisons to Nowitzki are appropriate in that sense.

If Momcilovic hadn't strayed quite so far from the catch man or bobbled the ball just a little on the catch, we might have found out the hard way that it wasn't. But virtually everything had to go perfectly just to get a shot off in time. Fortunately, it didn't.

Maybe. I think you have a better chance to throw it to the basket and hope for an alley oop or a tip in or a foul.

I think the shot that was blown dead so they could put more time in the clock, & give Iowa State a freebie time out, was missed badly. Is that the one you mean?

Not for this shot.

To be honest I didn't really think so either. I was hedging the bets.

Besides it's a cool photo.

That was dumb luck. Regardless of intent, it's a great shot any time a player makes a long three.
