UT to shoot 1+1. I like the foul. Gets us a chance to take the last shot if needed.

Is Maston even in the huddle? Such a head case. I wouldn't be surprised if he's disciplined on Saturday for a spell too.

he misses it we win.

Nuni was completely in between there. If he shoot right away, much better chance of going in.

yep... defender cheated early... left him late and he took the shot.... could have gone in or Joe could have put in the rebound
