So, my question about the end of the game is this: Leading by 3 with UNC throwing it in why wouldn't Nova defend hard up to the half court line and then foul? As exciting as it was for UNC to hit that crazy 3 pointer, he should never have even got the shot off. Foul him before the shot gets taken. Broadcasters often pose the possibility by coaches seldom do it. Why not?

Every coach has different philosophies about fouling when up 3.  Some coaches are all for it and some are against it.  Not saying Jay Wright is against it but not all coaches agree about fouling late when up by 3.

North Carolina is such a good offensive rebounding team; perhaps Wright was concerned about that.

Handy: They don't make them like Burt any more. Try "Elmer Gantry" and "From Here to Eternity" for two of his best. He may be an acquired taste for today's palates however.

He's also great in a film noir classic called "the Killers".... Now back to basketball, since the season is officially over that means we're right back in it right.........right?
