I would be shocked if the percentages make that a smart play. Because the chance that you go behind is higher if you foul in that situation.
God fucking damnit why the fuck does Sam Dekker get to go to the Final Four and TJ McConnell doesn't?
Fuck this shit. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
Most likely, you will be behind in that situation. However, you get the ball back with some amount of time left. ND was lucky to get the ball with 6 seconds left. UK started their offense to soon. Foul and put them on the line with 25 seconds to go. ND has about 1-on-4 chance that UK goes 1-for-2 from the line (UK shot 72.5% as a team from the line this season). Now, ND has time to set up a play and have a better look at the basket with 25 seconds to go as opposed to the "dribble the ball up the floor like an asshole and throw up a prayer" offense that they had with 6 seconds to go.

Break even on this is 71.4% FT shooter, apparently. Just eye balling Kentucky's FT%, it looks like, for ND to foul that early, they would have put a better FT shooter than that out there. So Brey made the right decision.
Not as obvious as I thought though.

I usually hate Duke as much as anyone, but this year's team is actually fun to watch. They move the ball well, have a real low post presence, and get up and down. Helps that they don't have any annoying floor slapping white kids like Paulus, Scheyer, etc.
Haha I'll concede that.
I do like his game doh: just wish he were six inches taller for NBA purposes.
Duke Kentucky wisky? Lawd
Go msu I guess. Man sportswriters are gonna rub themselves raw with these coaches.
Deserved itWow these refs are terrible. Lyles punched that guy in the face.
Kaminsky really needed to play defense there instead of flopping. Jesus.
