In Mag's defense he left his man when he was standing out of bounds by more than a foot so there was no reason to guard him except for the refsAside from Caleb please hit your free throws/ dribbler and shooter both out of bounds in front of a ref - We have to stop putting Mag out there for defense. He left his man (the shooter) to impede/trap who knows. Umass buzzer beater is another example comes to mind. Put jalen or Simpson or hell even leave cam out there and everyone stay with your man it’s a scramble drill.
Great point hahha. U know what drives me even more mad (cherry on top of an amazing sports night for me as a Raiders fan as well) - the kid on OSU saying he felt he was in and hope they don’t change it. Hahahahahh. Like come on man, just say oh sh*t I was out we shouldn’t have gotten that I’ll take it, something to that effect.In Mag's defense he left his man when he was standing out of bounds by more than a foot so there was no reason to guard him except for the refs
I think that is harsh on Mag. If Thornton stays in bounds (which Mag has to assume since no whistle), and gets past Caleb (which he did), Mag has to make a decision. Thorton is running full speed to the 3 point line with 2 sec on the clock after getting past Caleb if Mag does not step up there.We have to stop putting Mag out there for defense.

If we all stay with our man, he’s chucking up an even longer near half court three. I’ll take my chances. U may be right though, But either way, video technology and a clear rule violation and somehow in 2022 we cant correct that, is the bigger story. No matter second guessing or fouling up 3 - we are up 2 and they passed to a guy out of bounds. .9 left. Rutgers hall. It’s not hard big ten. What are we doing and I say this as someone who works in sports with the conferences on the data and insights. It’s a joke.I think that is harsh on Mag.

I would say the odds of the pass/catch/turn and chuck 3 pointer from Holden is much lower chance then letting Thorton run up to the line and shoot a clean 3.
Mulcahy was nowhere near the play. He was late rotating over to contest the 3No question he was out of bounds before the pass, arguably Mulcahy forced him out, right call was problem a foul on Mulcahy
You want to sit Mag bc of his defense 🤣Aside from Caleb please hit your free throws/ dribbler and shooter both out of bounds in front of a ref - We have to stop putting Mag out there for defense.

Mag is our 2nd best defender with little debate. He left a guy standing 2 feet out of bounds. The only way that pass is able to be completed is because the player was out of bounds.Aside from Caleb please hit your free throws/ dribbler and shooter both out of bounds in front of a ref - We have to stop putting Mag out there for defense.
