I really didn’t catch it live, but watching the highlights it struck me that I have never seen a wilder yet more controlled assist like the pass Devonté made to Svi for the game tying trey at the end of regulation. He contorted and twisted his body around his defender to get a clear route to Svi for the pass, all without lifting or dragging his pivot foot.
Check it out if you get the chance. Really an amazing pass.

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

Two amazing, falling-down assists in KU tourney lore:
Sherron Collins' crrrrazy dish to Mario for the shout heard 'round the world...and now Devonte's fling to Svi for the pivotal make as the former was losing control.
Both passes and makes were amazing in their own way.

Pardon the earlier typos (and any typos in any of my posts). So often now I'm having to type quickly on a mobile phone, and the auto-correct is a demonic tool.
