INDIANAPOLIS -- With 2.8 seconds remaining in a tied Sweet 16 game, Houston coach Kelvin Sampson called a clever baseline inbounds play that will long be replayed on March highlight reels.
Cougars wing Milos Uzan inbounded the ball to forward Joseph Tugler about eight feet from the basket. Tugler, immediately realizing that Purdue guard Braden Smith fled his spot guarding the in-bounder, dropped a quick pass back to the unguarded Uzan, who leaped unimpeded to the basket and laid the ball in.
The shot delivered No. 1 Houston a 62-60 win over the No.
