I can see the humor you see. If it were the Y that did it, I'd laugh too.

I think it is pretty clear what they would do...fire up an airball. I on the other hand, would easily knock down the three, get fouled and win the game in regulation 73-72...but that's just me.

Has he ever taken a jump shot facing the basket? He lowers his shoulder and throws up bricks in hopes they go in. This crap about him being 9 for 9 against CSU..........so what? If CSU is your benchmark, you are in trouble.

Yes. He hit a jump-shot from the shoulder of the key in two recent games. I was pleasantly surprised - good form, good motion, good follow-through, and it hit nothing but net.

The problem Trent has is that he rushes his shots at times after he's made his move. When he rushes, he ends up throwing up an ugly, formless pretense-of-a-shot that looks, on first impression, as if he chucked it from his waist.

Typically, on the replay, the shots don't look as bad as they did initially, but still, the guy definitely has work to do in terms of a consistently good shooting form.
