MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Near the halfway mark of the second half in the ball room of the Baha Mar, Jalen Jordan knew the shot clock was winding down with the ball in his hands.
Jordan stepped in, went between the legs, then stepped back. Finding himself with a ton of space, the seventh-year guard lined up his shot behind the three-point line as the shot clock hit one.
The space quickly closed, but well after the shot was on its way to hitting nothing but net. And when Allen David Muekba of UMKC undercut Jordan's landing spot, one could barely hear the whistle of the referee, signaling the and-1 foul, over the cheers of Jordan's teammates.
