UConn has advanced to the semi-finals of the Big East Tournament after beating DePaul, Georgetown, and Pittsburgh in a three-day span. The story of the afternoon on Thursday was once again Kemba Walker — the nation’s best point guard in my opinion — who scored 24 points. None were bigger than the two that came with 0.00 seconds remaining in the game. Check out the Kemba Walker game-winner against Pitt, courtesy of Mocksession:
The shot was incredible, but Gary McGhee should have switched back and let Brad Wanamaker cover Walker. He had to have known he was going to either drive or take a step-back jumper. McGhee allowed him to get more space than he needed to hit the shot, which is Walker’s bread and butter to begin with. In any event, UConn stays alive and moves on to face the winner of St. Johns and Syracuse on Friday night. The Huskies have given themselves a huge boost in NCAA tournament seeding.
