The kid just made the shot.
Guarded closely, falling backward, falling sideways out of balance, he found the net.
It happens.
Skyy Clark could not have guarded Max Abmas any better than he did. The Longhorn didn’t get by him to the rim. The Longhorn didn’t draw a foul. The Longhorn had to go MIchael Jordan to net the game winner.
It happens, damn it.
Texas 81, Louisville 80.
