Do Last Second shots - Win vs Loss Even Out over time

[stllvf]

Remember the shot that Davis made to beat , I believe, Arkansas in the last possession?
I can recall several March games leading to the Lady Vols national championships decided by last second put-backs

The last three SEC conference game top 10 defeats against SC,(last year) OK, LSU all decided


what do you believe as a fan in the stands or watching on TV, not a player and definitely not a first year coach

It was Alabama.

Puckett missed a game-winner against OK but she also made a game-winner (I believe as a freshman).

And against Belmont in the NCAA tournament.

Rickea made a buzzer-beater at Missouri in the 2022-23 season with an old-fashioned 3-point play with 1-second left for a 68-65 win (after Puckett had made a 3 with 40 seconds left to tie it at 65-65).

I enjoy seeing this often.

She made two game winners against Belmont and aginst Missouri. Don't know what season it was but she has made two in her time here thus far.

what a terrible possession, clock management, and shot. you want to get a 2 point look from closer with at least 5 seconds to go to have time to get a rebound and put back.
results = amazing tho

You ask a Q in the title and it never gets addressed

I will sum it up for you,,,,

Games aren't won in the first quarter, but they can be lost in the first quarter
and this one was a good example of that
down 26-13 at the end of Q1

IF your game comes down to the last shot, unless it is a one possession game throughout the game,,,it is BC you had a lapse that you couldn't overcome

Look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before

Hypothetically, if you're shooting 50% for the season, it might even out (though pressure seldom makes scoring easier).
