The shot clock was ticking down. Kendric Davis was in trouble. He had a defender on his right and another converging on his left.
So, the junior point guard did the only thing he could do with SMU down three and less than two minutes to play: He hung in the air until his vision cleared and heaved the ball in the vicinity of the basket. This time, though, it went in.
But, minutes after the ball hit the ground, that same basket was waived off. Officials deemed that Davis’ potential game-tying three-pointer was shot after the shot clock expired.
