Then Red Fox fires a long, contested 3 with 25 on the shot clock. I understand trying to be a hero and he was feeling himself after his last make, but he's too good of player to fall for that. And so HCV gets the ball with 25 seconds left, Henningsgard makes a super savvy play with the wing hand off and then drifting to the corner. But I feel bad for Steve, he knew after that shot was a mistake but hats off to HCV for capitalizing. Henningsgard was absolutely fearless on those drives and never settled for jump shots even after all his misses at the rim in this game. Incredible player, what a shot and what a tournament!! The best B in a long, long time!
heartbreaker for redfox...i too felt he should have held the ball for the last shot because, if they make it, they win the game. a miss and there's always overtime...and just like fridley said, if it comes down to a close game, the team that wins is the team that makes its free throws...and FW's missed a ton down the stretch...A good championship game..for once i felt the officiating was fair...especially against this team known for being 'all hands' ...my favorite lost but HCV won it fair and square....hats off to the burro's...they played hard and deserve the championship trophy....
