T.J. Moss’ first step hinted that the point guard wanted to push, but Frank Martin quickly alerted his freshman of the game situation. Less than 30 seconds remained in the first half and the South Carolina coach wanted one shot.
So Moss slowed the possession by dribbling and dribbling and dribbling beyond the top of the arc. Finally, by the third time Martin yelled at him to go, Moss found a teammate. Hassani Gravett didn’t have a clean look, so he hurried a pass to Maik Kotsar, a 6-foot-11 forward who forced — but buried — a line-drive 3-pointer at the buzzer.
