You miss my point. Yes the Jesse airball was on the shooter. But I was comparing how Laieto handled the last play of the game versus how JT3 handled it in the Maryland game. Remarkably similar circumstance yet DePaul has the ball in the hands of their best player while we had the ball in the hands of a rookie playing his second BE, D1, game. Now maybe Maryland defensed us better and that's why Mosley never got the ball into LJ's hands or maybe Mosley just screwed up (as you could expect from a freshman) and never tried to get the ball to LJ. Without a recording I don't know. But either way it shows that whereas Maryland either executed their defense perfectly keeping the ball out of LJ's hands or we screwed up by having Mosley handling the in bound pass to begin with. And it highlights how poorly we handled the Garrett full court drive by comparison. DrQ did JT3 draw up that scenario for Jagan to get the ball of did Jagan make the decision not to give the ball back to LJ? Jagan played well that game but I can't imagine 3 calling his number in that situation. I truly have soured on JT3 during the course of this season but every play cannot go on him. The player need to make plays. I do blame JT3 for the culture that he has developed of coming up small in the biggest situations........... Like I said I don't have a recording of the game. But i seem to recall Jagan getting the in bounds pass from LJ and just streaking downcourt. Anyone else have a recording or have a better memory of that play? If JT3 really designed that play to go to and stay with Jagan then I'd have a problem justifying it. But like I said, maybe, unlike us, Turgeon had his defense set up and had the players on the court who could be sure LJ never got the ball back.

Okay I looked at a recording of the last play of the Maryland game (God was this horrible). I was totally wrong. First off LJ was not even on the court. Now that I think of it he fouled out when he went for the steal on the earlier Md inbound pass. Also, I assume JT3 had no timeouts left to set up a play since after Trimble made the free throws Jagan took the ball out of bounds. He passes to Pryor who brings the ball up court but as soon as he passes mid court he is double teamed. Pryor then passes it to an open Mosley who took it to the hoop. The big difference between Md and us last night is that Md players were smart enough to get the ball out of Pryors hands whereas we never stopped Garret from taking the ball all the way to the hoop. Funny how the disaster of last night made me forget how truly horrible the last minute of that Md game was. Then again maybe it was just the dementia kicking in. I was going to to paste the ESPN recording of the game to this post but it is much to terrible to watch again. Especially after last night. I think we have suffered enough.
