Gotta say . . . I was NOT expecting this answer. I like it though.Briscoe,drive to the basket and get fouled,no time left on the clock.![[winking]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/wink.r191677.gif "Winking [winking]")
Tyler Ulis. With his skills then any Cat on the floor is a potential scorer.
I'd say that's a safe bet. I have confidence in him, but I DEFINITELY want the ball to drop through the net on the drive first.
Murray. Bigger, stronger, more likely to get his shot off.
And miss freethrow.Briscoe,drive to the basket and get fouled,no time left on the clock.
In other words, ulis. Willis can't create his own shot. He would need ulis to penetrate to set up a shot for willis.
Murray. It's tough to take the ball from Ulis but in an under 10 seconds situation you give it to Murray at the top ofthe key and isolate. He's bigger and creates his own shot better than Tyler in a 1on1 situation.
Briscoe,drive to the basket and get fouled,no time left on the clock.
If we were in the title game down 1, with Briscoe at the line for 2 and no time left on the clock, I would seriously consider just shutting the TV off.
Odd perspective coming...
For four years I have been watching crean hand it to yogi in those situations. I can't remember many (if any) where it worked out, even at half time. This weekend IU was up 2 and yogi did handle it and get bailed out by a goal tend otherwise it would have been terrible.
The reason I bring up yogi is that you haven't had this situation much in the last two years so there is no "Ulis experience" to draw on.
Now, Ulis (you may argue) is better, but he still lacks inches the same way yogi does and in a situation like this one he could be handled because all focus would be on him. There are limitations he cannot overcome in a one play situation.
Murray though has proven in several second half performances that he has that Harrison-like ice water in his blood.
So UK faithful...you want Murray.

Agreed. My preference would be a Murray drive. Draw the foul, hopefully make it anyway.
The IU fan makes a good point, but I still have to go with Ulis. He has made the right choices too many times to second guess him when it's clutch. Besides, if you're going to go down, you go down with the captain.
This is right.
The problem with Ulis in that situation is that if they run a double team at him, he has almost no option but to pass the ball. And if he's forced to do that, who knows if you even get a shot off in time.
Murray can get a shot off pretty much any time he wants. It isn't always a great shot, but in an end game situation, he at least gets the shot off.

Pretty simple. Ulis usually probes and it tskes the play a few seconds to develop because screens have to be set and a teammate will need to cut to the basket or get open for a shot. Ulis wouldn't actually take the shot because 9 times out of 10 he passes.
Murray only needs two seconds to free himself for a shot.
What @ohiodon said was brilliant and I share that opinion.
Ulis with 5,4,3 and anybody whose open off his penetration at 2 and 1. Biggest mistake made on final shots is putting the ball in one guys hands to create and shoot, especially when everybody else in the arena knows who that will be. Despite the rare instances where they make it and create a highlight, 90% of the time it's a forced off balance shot that misses.
I'd believe in the one pass concept because th defense will always over react to the dribbler and it's easy to draw multiple defenders and dish to an open man. I'd rather have any random guy take an open look for the win than my star force a contested shot under pressure. Play it over 100 times and it would come out on top more often than the one man theory

Murray for sure..Some will say Ulis, but when he gets double teamed it's a problem..see KU game..so give me Murray, he can shoot a 3,drive and make ft's if he gets fouled
As long as we didn't need the and 1.Briscoe,drive to the basket and get fouled,no time left on the clock.
It depends on where you are inbounding the ball. If it is under the other teams basket I would want Murray or maybe Ulis. They are the fastest.
If it is under our basket I might go with Briscoe because he has the strength to muscle it in close.
If you need to just get a shot up I would say Murray or Willis. I love Ulis but his size might hinder him getting a good look.

Yep. Five seconds might cut it a little close for penetration and pass, but with a few extra seconds, Ulis to Murray. Start with it in Ulis's hands, because if Murray can't get free for some reason, the ball is with your leader and second best option.
I kind of like the play Cal designed out of a time out at A&M at the end of the game. It was a lob to Lee. Worked pretty well.
It was great. I sure wasn't expecting it, and I suspect A&M wasn't either. Lee can get higher than a lot of post guys, so it's a great play call!
