I get what you are saying as well. I bet if you asked Jordan he would have preferred to swish the shot. It went in, we won so it doesn't matter anyway. The NW State shot that beat us in the 06 tourney was a swish and I consider that shot pretty lucky.Easy, many players shoot off the glass from an angle on jumpers. My point is if it's luck, then every shot that goes in except a swish is luck?
People get the roll all the time, they have a name for it. It's called touch.
Anyway, I get what you are saying. His shot was no different than a floater that rolls around the rim and goes in. No one calls that luck if it's a game winner. What's the difference?

A few at Wisconsin.Has jbo single handily shot daggers at a team as many times as he has Indiana in his career?
Refs don't call fouls with seconds left in the game. You know that.What was LUCKY... Indiana holding Perkins and Keegan on the inbounds, when we were up 2... And refs swallowed their damn whistles.
Leading to a steal and a layup.
JBo game winner..... BALL DON'T LIE
That's why they have a square on the backboard. Ever wonder what that's for Art?The difference is that one is a few inches off, while the other is so far off it is going to miss the rim entirely.

Man I understand, i just I don't get the difference between a basket hitting the front of the rim and going off the glass verses a bank that goes in. The difference is whether it's a game winner in my opinion. Had that shot been short and hit the rim, kissed the glass and went in it wouldn't be called luck.Yes. But if you aren’t trying to use it, if your aim is the center of the hoop but it hits the middle of the backboard, that is an errant shot, and it’s lucky if it goes in.
I’ve had a ton of those in my life, and I recognized the luck every time. Or is it your contention that he was trying to bank it in?

He wasn't trying to bank it in. Essentially the shot was so far off long that it banked in.I'm just not buying it, guy is clutch, all time Big leader in threes. Luck because of the bank? What if it dinged the rim, rolled around and went in. Would that be considered luck too?
The backboard is there for a reason, to bank off of. Layups, 4-8 foot banks from an angle, etc.
I'm sure he would have preferred a swish but people do runners all the time that hit the rim and go off the glass. It's part of the game.

And luck favors the brave. Good LUCK on the NCAA tourney.Most shots outside 10 feet that hit the back board and goes in is luck. Taught to aim for the front of the rim, not the backboard.
I heard him yell “GLASS!!” as he pulled up and let go of the shot. Alls good, no luck involved.Most shots outside 10 feet that hit the back board and goes in is luck. Taught to aim for the front of the rim, not the backboard.
Exactly. As usual some context is important. IF we hadn't manned up the last 4 minutes to reclaim the lead before Perkins turnover crossing midcourt, the last second heroics would mean nothing. As for anyone claiming that Indiana's bigs didn't play wack-a-mole on Iowa's backs on rebounds ALL game, WOW!You create your own luck. Jordan and Iowa put themselves in position to win by battling while down late and making some huge buckets on previous possessions
Some luck, sure, but it took A LOT of skill for him to even get that shot off and to have it lined up at all from that distance while trying to evade the defender....Less than probably 3 percent of 3 pointers made are banked in I'm guessing. Why don't shooters use the bank on long shots and free throws? It was a lucky shot. Keegan and Jbo other 3's were skill and clutch.
This exactly......The JBo shot was luck. But that just drowns out the key point, which is that rallied to get to the point where that shot was meaningful. Murray's three pointers and Perkins' And-One were the true highlights of the game. There were plenty of times when they could have just folded, but not going to happen with this team.
Agree, but I don't think that was designed at all from Frans comments after the game. I think they were trying to run something for Keegan, and it wasn't there so they basically went into scramble mode.Jbo hitting that isn't luck. That is who he is and he has done shit like that his entire career. If Rebecca or Connor had hit that it would have been lottery for a billion dollars luck. Jbo hitting it is the reason we ran a play for him to take the shot
He said in the postgame interview he was glad the bank was open, it was a lucky shot, but who cares because we WON!I actually think he meant to bank it since it was a hail mary of an attempt. Odds of it going in off the back board are much better than hoping for a swish.
Yeah, Fran said they were looking for the shot to come from the corner and Indiana had the bottled up.Agree, but I don't think that was designed at all from Frans comments after the game.

I’d like to see the BTT move around to pro arenas in Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, DC, Cleveland, Philly…move it around.Sounds like this board when Iowa loses.
CHICAGO (AP) -- Alando Tucker knew there was no time to waste.
He caught the inbounds pass and took off up the court dribbling
as fast as he could before letting fly with a 3-pointer from the
right side of the arc.
As the ball banked through the basket at the buzzer, Wisconsin (No. 22 ESPN/USA Today, No. 23 AP) had a stunning 59-56 win over Iowa in the Big Ten semifinals Saturday, sending the Badgers to the floor in celebration.
Is it still called the PEEGS board? Those clowns are delusional much like the Nebbie Football board...Rarely do I go to another board, but decided to lurk a little.
Iowa is the luckiest team on the planet with Jbo's three to win the game, refs screwed us, blah blah.
Seems they forgot the game was tied when he hit it. They are acting like they were up by 2 and would have won had he not hit the shot. Worst case for us it would have went to OT which would have favored us due to momentum.
Their tears are delicious. Lol
Some posters did remind them that this isn't Jbo's first rodeo. Lol
This game I thought of too shortly after yesterdays ending. Funny enough Iowa came into that BTT tourney on the bubble like IU but won 2 games and a big one vs 2 seed msu day before basically guaranteeing tourney spot.I'm in the it took skill to get it there and some luck to actually go in camp.
The universe has a way of evening out.
I am sure Indiana fans will remember this shot the way Iowa fans recall this one in the BTT
