Final play of the game

[TinyManInside]

I have re-watched the final inbounds play about 10 times. Am I being crazy, or does it look like Lydon basically lobbed the ball down the court without a care in the world? To me, his body language looked like "I don't care... whatever..."

Insane decision

You have to wonder if they ever practice that. I have no idea what that play was supposed to be. I'm hoping he was actually trying to throw to White but shortarmed it. At least that would make more sense than hoping DC could turn and shoot a 3 with that little time left.

Any normal person throws it to a teammate around half-court. They take 2 dribbles and pull up for a deep three.

We throw a lollipop lob to the far sideline.

They didn't look like they had any idea what to do...I would've thought Lydon should be on the receiving end of that pass.

With DC throwing it. Great thought.

I go with CuseVT. You have to wonder if they ever practiced that play/situation.

Throw it to the 6'10" guy who can actually shoot it.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

It's almost like he was just stunned to be in that situation, losing to a bad UCONN team and not really helping the cause in any meaningful way. Just wonder if he's got other stuff going on right now off the court.

Yeah I was shocked Lydon threw it

 

[orangenirvana]

It just solidified my assumption that Lydon had a lobotomy performed at some point in the offseason.

JB took a time out before the 2 FT. There had to be a 'plan' of some kind, right? It looked to me like Lydon didn't even try. His body language said 'I give up".

i said the exact same thing to my wife. i'm pretty sure she tuned me out by that point.

no one wanted to inbound the ball.

Your wife watches with you? Mine got her MA from SU and couldn't be bothered to watch a game with me.

Wouldn't be the first time this season he's had body language issues. Not sure what's going on there or if I'm misinterpreting.

Okay so we did take a timeout. I was wondering where it went. Honestly I would have saved it for after the free throws.

Exactly!!!! Set something up. What.

 

[Ghost]

I just about had a coronary when he threw it. Outside of just tossing it out of bounds that was the worst thing to do. He had a better shot at hitting the scoreboard than getting that to someone on our team.

Two thoughts on the inbounding this season:

Gillon should never inbound.

When Lydon and Coleman are both in the game with 2.2 seconds left, Lydon should not inbound.

Maybe he did but was expecting them to miss the second one on purpose, which is most coaches likely would have done.

NFS. What the hell is going on here?

 

[cuseguy]

Felt the same way. I was at the other end of the court. But it was just a lackadaisical throw. Seemed to be no plan.

 

[rhcuse]

Looked to me like Lydon was not supposed To inbound. He looked around for a couple seconds like was expecting someone else to inbound and when everyone else ran down court he then had the McEff-it moment. IMO somebody else screwed up and TL was to be the shooter.

The pass was horrible and at the same time it looked like the rest of the team was ready to quit and just walk of the court.
