Totally agree. Chopped his arms.
True enough but in the final second almost no refs are going to call that foul.
Okpara appeared to be trying to heave an outlet pass to Sellers who had leaked out all by himself to the other end. It had no chance but I can see why Okpara might have had the thought that such a pass could win the game.
As it turned out, he made a perfect pass to Hepburn who just barely got the shot off before the buzzer. ANY other action would have sent the game to overtime ... where I am guessing we would have lost given the game flow (and Raynaud's seat on the bench).
It also hurt because Stanford had actually played really good defense on the final possession - minus the one moment.
