All right, so Chris Jenkins, he's a forever guy because he gets that incredible, Archie Diacono flips it back, ball in the air, Jay Wright, bang, title, confetti the whole bit. Like if Sharp makes that shot, you become a forever guy. And instead he gets caught in the air and I'm with you. I don't, obviously I haven't met him, don't know him.

but I just, you see the guy just crouched down and I can't fathom what you're trying to process in that moment. And so like, I don't know what flag did wrong. He just took a shot. They ran an ISO and, and, and Roberts challenged him, made him shoot it shorter than he wanted to. I don't feel like he did anything drastically wrong in the end. I mean, Proctor missed a free throw.

They couldn't get the ball in bounds. There was a call, which I get that people don't love it. My point on that, And I'm curious where you land with this. If you stop the world from spinning at that moment and you let Duke analytically look at this moment and say, all right, that was probably a shitty call. Yeah. But you can send a 62% free throw shooter to the line for one and one.

Or Cryer has the ball in his hands and Houston can run clock and shoot a shot to beat you and you'll never touch it again. Which would you prefer? And if I'm Duke, I'm saying, let the guy go to the line. You think he's making two? I don't. And he did. Okay. Even with that, we got 19 seconds and we got the ball. Give it to the number one pick. I'll take my chances with that.

You know, does that make sense? Like the way people turn it into that decided the game. I'm like, no, it didn't. Robert's making two free throws, playing great defense, challenging and And Cryer making two free throws. And then them, I saw you tweet it, decided to throw a football pass or whatever that was. That decided the game. I don't want to hear that it was the call.
