In last year’s game of inches that was the loss to Virginia Wheeler had one of the most cruel turnovers in the first half. Just before a media timeout he appeared to beat the shot clock for a big 3-pointer, but the replay revealed he got it off a split second too late. As you know, Purdue went on to lose in overtime, but those three points (plus the “did he get his foot behind the line” two from Carsen in the second half) ended up being huge.
