The Cougars’ 2016-17 basketball season didn’t end as they would’ve liked.
Since they fell to UConn in the American Athletic Conference Championship, the Cougars moved to the National Invitation Tournament. There, they faced off against the No.7 seed, Akron.
After a back and forth game where the lead changed 16 times, the Cougars found themselves behind 3 with 6.7 seconds left. Sophomore guard Galen Robinson Jr. started with the ball, driving it up the court. He turned and passed the ball to redshirt senior guard Damyean Dotson. With Akron’s 6-foot-10 center, Isiaiah Johnson, standing in the way, Dotson had to take a step back and shoot from a couple feet from the 3-point line.
