Don't understand why TSJ didn't just dunk it with less than 3 seconds. Would have put them up by 5 points which would be almost insurmountable. Instead, he missed both free throws and had a chance to tie once again. A long shot, but a chance... Maybe I'm thinking too much??
Brad underwood's "kill the momentum" timeout with less than 4 min to go and Illinois with momentum 3 - and up by 10. And TSJ's dribbling around with 3 sec to go instead of dunk . Both inexplicable decisions are why Illinois is not an elite team for March success.
