Is a clock in the process of turning zero the end of the shot clock or is it when the zero is complete on the clock. This is hard to explain but the one is almost faded while the zero is fading in. I still think in all probability he might have had skin on ball when it turned zero, but can't say for sure.

If we had made just a few more free throws that shot wouldn't have been the difference maker! Or, if our guards knew how to get the ball inside to Cunningham we would have won in regulation. He either makes a layup or gets fouled!!!
Yes, even though Crutcher got off a good shot, he is a freshman and I think down low to Cunningham would have been a better option!
