When 1 second makes for a big, satisfying Tigers result
“All I could think about was the USF game, when the freshman guard was just running around us and just getting layup after layup in the high pick and roll,” coach Penny Hardaway said of the last five minutes of the game against SMU Jan. 26. “With shooters out there, I knew my guys were going to be spread out and I needed guys that were going to be able to guard the ball just like a guard. And that’s why I went with DeAndre (Williams).” (Patrick Lantrip/Daily Memphian)
From Penny Hardaway’s choice to go small at the end, to Alex Lomax’s hustle, every decision had a critical effect.
