Yeah what's lost in all this... His teammates and allowed him to dribble the ball up court and then he dribbled into a corner...Was doubleteamed and couldn't pass out of it, he traveled initially...

The TO was trying to get out of a doomed scenario.

The correct answer is Fred Brown. Turned around and threw a pass to James Worthy. The problem is that Worthy played for UNC and Brown played for Georgetown. This was in the 1982 NCAA Championship game.

As a result Michael Jordan's earlier jump shot was his first game winning shot in a huge game.

The chucker who thought he was Darrel Mitchell (sorry Aggie) jacking up that three at the end pissed me off more than Fisher-Davis. Fisher-Davis was the sole reason Vandy got back into the game. The foul, while an obvious mistake, still left Vandy with plenty of time. That guy wasted 7 or so seconds and then jacked a deep three shot leaving little time for a rebound/follow-up shot.

As furious as I was when it happened I have calmed down. To be fair to Fisher-Davis, he had been struggling but got things on track the last few weeks and was a big part of even keeping us in that game last night. Bonehead move but now that I have returned to my Bruce Banner form I can forgive.

I blame the Vandy coach who used his last timeout with like 14 minutes left in the half. Vandy had an opportunity to win that game. They didn't need to shoot the three at the end. Perhaps if they had had the chance to plan a play, they'd still be in the tournament.

This isn't even a question, it's webber and it's not remotely close.

-FD very well might have seen the scoreboard before it changed and not realized they were ahead. But let's ignore that for a second. Even if he did just have a brain fart, VAndy was still winning! He didn't end the game, NW still had to make 2 free throws. On top of that, Vandy got the ball back with like 8 seconds left. Also this was an 8/9 matchup in the 1st round.

-Webber is a far more talented player that was playing in the damn national title. He had the ball with 10 seconds left and after his gaffe the game was essentially over.

Fisher was probably dumber, it's close

Webber's was worse.
