Understanding the style and ultimate confidence in ability Central Michigan junior guard Marcus Keene plays with can be traced to one late-game play on Dec. 6.
The Chippewas led Green Bay 95-89 with less than three minutes remaining and Keene was well on his way to extending his lengthy lead in the NCAA scoring department, averaging around 31 points per game.
Looking to close out the Phoenix, Keene dribbled the ball up-court and watched his defender sink under a screen set by teammate Luke Meyer at the top of the arc.
Keene began dribbling left, watched the defender make his way back toward him, casually spun, and without hesitation launched an NBA-distance 3-pointer which touched nothing but the bottom of the net.
