that is the eternally burning question in college hoops. When you are up 3 with less than 8 or so seconds do you foul prior to the shot attempt and send the opposing player to the line to attempt two pressure filled fts or do you play it out?
Last night gregggy and wsu played it out and allowed UConn to tie it up with five seconds left. If not for an incredible shot by wsu at the buzzer they might have lost. San Fran did the same thing and allowed the tying three with three seconds on the clock and they lost in OT. I don't get it. Up three, and the opposition only gets two points if they make the fts. If they do, you get the ball back. Thoughts...
