I didn't think it was a good pass live, and even more so on replay.

That's a bad spot Avdalas is in, and a bad pass from Hansberry. Both of them have to be better in that situation. That was the first domino. But even still, they had free throws at the end and missed. If you don't do either of those two things, you likely win the game. It's like the Stanford game, except in seven seconds instead of two minutes. VT just didn't execute in the final minutes. And you can critique how VT defended the final possession. I think you're picking nits at that point. If you turn the ball over in the backcourt and miss two front ends of one-and-ones, you're asking to lose at that rate. Have to close it out when you had a chance.

The bounce pass turnover w/ 7 seconds left was the problem for me...

The 3-point shot shouldn't have mattered

Salt in the wounds was Neo giving up the lob on the inbounds after as well.

Basketball 101! Poor fundamentals and decision by Hansberry

Win by just heaving it to the other side of the court. Unbelievably stupid

Everyone knew SMU would do an alley-oop on the inbounds and nobody guarded

They catch it anywhere else, game is most likely over. Crushing**
