Had he held onto the ball, he’d have been fouled with about 5 seconds to go in the game; two free throws would have made it a two possession game.
BC
1. he may have panicked (high pressure situation, game on the line)
2. he's a freshman, had never experienced anything like that before
3. he probably saw the two Duke players unguarded near the O basket with easy dunks if he just gets the ball to either one of them.
Q: did Scheyer tell those in the game what to do and not do when they were huddled up and about to in-bound the ball?
Duke's heavy reliance on super-talented frosh may have come back to bite it in crunch time.
