Heck, I remember Idaho Vandals beating the Lady Griz scoring 4 points with 3 seconds left. So, 9 points in 1 minute is no large feat.

A while back.....witnessed it but don't recall exactly....I think Tinkle (somewhere around about 1986-89?) was playing at the time...
Yeah, right, once in about what?...about 600 (generally thirty games a season from about twenty years ago) games you recall that it did happen, but with very, very, very little chance of ever being successful over the long haul, happening. With those kind of odds why don't you go to Vegas?
Just because it happened once about twenty years ago doesn't mean that it should be a general practise for all time now does it? How about full court pressure five minutes left in the game?...especially when there are less than ten fouls committed in the half already?
You bring a team of twelve players on the road, you play only ten at 7,000 elevation against a team at their home that is, for all practical considerations, more used to the altitude than you are; playing eight each for over ten minutes, the same as the other team does, and you leave two players on the bench, in all actuality three for one only played less than a minute, who could have been used as fresh legs in full court pressure on players that have played thirty minutes;... possiblility of a lapse in performance existing there, hmmm?...do turn-overs come to mind?...like, from playing heads-up focused hustling defense?
Two of the three are red-shirt freshman, granted, but they should have at least have practised for a year with the team last year. Should be able to play defense somewhat, shouldn't they? At least for a couple minutes active in a game at varying times. Most top schools recruit players to start, not to ride the bench for the rest of their careers.
Some people's reliance on,.."well I got lightning in a bottle once, and I'll be gawd damned if I ain't goin' to be around to see it happen again, come Hell or high water, gol darn it!" doesn't impress me whatsoever; that's just stubborn arrogance. Doesn't put meat on the table.
If the scoring bench was in the business of rewarding 'style points' for a game, then I can understand such a preponderance of worry over such a weighty matter, how the intangibles are judged:...then, by all means, hold your hands down in place of throwing them up in the disgust of going up against a superior opponent any given night. That way you won't have to block any overhead passes either. But at least play to win. Quit being such an insult to your competition. Victory is the object of the game; hence the competition by both opponents for the same goal. Dean Smith's four-cornered offense was good in it's time, yeah, twenty or thirty years ago.
