misses the 1&1.

Went back and was watching the game and I saw McKneely had the ball and drove the baseline, beat two guys, #1, #5 and was fouled (35.1 seconds left in the game) as he was going up, elevating right at the backboard and rim, you hear the whistle, he had a clear layup, was directly under the basket when he was in the air looking right an easy layup, but at the last second he turns his head and throws it back to Shedrick in the lane who dunks it.

So he passed on the right under the basket easy layup when he was in the air and because he turns his head and throws it back to Shedrick, he's awarded a one and one shot that he misses the shot and they get the ball. HUGE MISTAKE.

He will have to be smart enough to know when you are in the air and have a clean bunny shot, that if you miss you will get two shots regardless. Big Blunder, maybe nerves but I saw that and backed it up and he looks like he is going to shoot it wide open, then he turns his head and passes it to Shedrick who dunks it.

Lot's of mistakes down the stretch by both players and coaches, just saw this one and couldn't believe that wide open in the air less than two feet from the rim and you know they blew the whistle you have to put up the shot.

The score was 66-63 and you had one of the easiest layups all night and you for whatever reason decided to pass on the shot after the whistle and go take the 1&1 instead. McKneely had to know Shedricks Dunk was only for show.
