DiJonai Carrington, resting on one knee near the baseline, spoke for many.
“What?” she mouthed.
Seconds earlier, Carrington had held Baylor’s season in her hands as it tried to beat Connecticut and claim a spot in the N.C.A.A. women’s basketball tournament’s Final Four. Taking a pass near midcourt, Carrington faked a drive to her right and then curled, left, around the elbow at the foul line and down the left side of the lane. Met near the baseline by UConn’s Aaliyah Edwards and Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Carrington spun and rose for a shot with four seconds left.
And this is where opinions begin to differ.
