You're right, but let's also give Gonzaga credit for insanely good defense for 35 full seconds.

WVU had three attempts, with the first two well defended and the final one desperation due to the the perimeter pressure. With 2.3 seconds left in the game, every player on the court was behind the three-point line.

Valid. Interesting take on Twitter. Hero ball at the end is all Steph Curry's fault. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 23, 19:21 3
- Uh....what? In college Pistol Pete, NBA Jordan are the ones who immediately come to mind - JD Mar 23, 19:27 1
  - Not to these kids playing now. Oh, do you mean as late game gunners. Yeah I didn't say it was my theory. -- nm* - Volnelk Mar 23, 19:29
- I think there's something to that (and it didn't start with NBA Curry), but I also think it underscored that WVU is a defense-first team. -- nm - David Mar 23, 19:22
It seems fitting that game was decided on one last stop -- nm - JD Mar 23, 19:20
