[Orangezoo]

Alright doc gross... lets make it happem

[SBU72]

Was there any doubt????

Actually thought he took the shot too soon and too far away. Guess I was wrong.

 

[RF2044]

Was there any doubt????

Ha ha! Didn't even think of it that way.

 

[anglerman]

Lets face it the kid is simply Super Man.

I had a 44 come up in odd moment of life today. Omens were everywhere today. Its an all Orange day.

 

[Flacusian]

My wife and I practically jumped through the ceiling. I told her 4.4 seconds means we are WITHOUT A DOUBT going to win this game.

and then... the moment of destiny~

That was what will be an unforgettable shot, moment, game.

Thank you Syracuse Orange for being the best, grittiest, toughest, most fun to cheer for College Basketball Team on the planet~

I'll be honest. When there was 4.4 seconds left and during the timeout, the following crossed my mind. As clutch as Ennis, this may the situation where we could use a point guard with more downcourt speed.

I am such an idiot. He didn't even move the ball up that quickly. It was the most patience and composure as you could show in that moment. Tyler Freaking Ennis.

 

[Orangezoo]

Ha ha! Didn't even think of it that way.

Me neither just was aiming to be the first in hindsight ...

 

[OrangeTarheel]

As excited to beat Pitt TWICE this year as I was to see us beat Duke in OT.

I also missed the significance of 4.4 seconds. Thought Ennis should try and get fouled while shooting but he gave us so much more. AS USUAL!

 

[orangefan13]

ennis was tripled teamed on the inbounce crazy absolutely nuts.

 

[Orangezoo]

More shameless bumping..

 

[creatorsgam]

More shameless bumping..

Lol

 

[Orangezoo]

I am still in awe of this coincidence after watching the game again. Didnt we have 4.4 another time or 44 seconds etc in another game maybe last year? Just crazy

 

[85SUAlum]

Wow - did not catch this coincidence (?) during the heat of the game.
Another sign of how the basketball gods are smiling down on us this year.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

I felt the same sense of confidence during the Texas Bowl after Estime's PR set up the winning drive with 1:44 left on the clock. The Legend never fails

 

[JoeSU]

Based on Ennis' post-game comments, it sounds like the plan was for him to bring the ball up, find Cooney, and the other 3 players crash the boards.

 

[85SUAlum]

From what Ennis said and Boeheim said post-game, the initial plan was for Ennis to get the ball deep to CJ where he could go 1 on 1, but Pitt thwarted that when they doubled up on Ennis deep in the back court taking away his ability to get a deep pass up court so he dribbled up. Ennis said he saw Cooney running with him and thought about it but then decided to take the shot himself ( in one of the replays you can see Cooney ahead of Ennis along the sideline and possibly somewhat open and in a good position for a shot). So glad Tyler made the decision that he did.
