BS. Shad was wide open waving for the ball but Denham was determined to be the hero. Clang!
No one was wide open. No one was waving their hands. Shad was the only player in front of Denham - ill give you that much. But he was in the corner on the complete opposite end of the court meaning Denham would have had to pass the ball across the entire side of the court over the heads of all 5 George Mason players when there was just about 2 seconds left on the clock. Then you have to hope that even if you could successfully make that pass... across the entire court.. over the heads of all the players.. that Rashad can catch it, square away, and shoot before the time expires. Oh, and Rashad has to also.. make the shot too.
Also worth noting, Rudy ran down the court alongside Denham and set a pick on Denham's defender trying to clear the ball out so Denham, not Rashad, not Rudy, not Marcus, could take the last shot.
