It's a Clarence Gilbert game. Make, miss - don't matter, he's shooting.

Now the upshot with Gilbert was that on occasion he'd be absolutely unconscious and flat steal you a game. But then he'd be 1/11 from deep and still jack up a transition 3 to get to 1/12...

Just is what it is with guys like that. Sometimes you can only throw your hands up, say "well you take with the good with the bad" and hope he got it out of his system...

And then the opponent answers and the air is let out of the balloon.

Mizzou battled that sucker down to 49-53 with the ball in their hands and Hodge puts up a challenged 3 that gets blocked. Then after a predictable Aggie offensive board, Mizzou fouls, A&M makes 'em both and Mizzou immediately turns the ball over, fouls again and puts them right back on the line for 2 more.

From getting blocked on a possession that could've made it a 1 point game to down 8 in about 90 seconds of gameplay.

As soon as that shot got blocked I thought "****, is THAT the play where the air came out of the balloon?"

90 seconds later, it sure as hell felt like it.

Damn.

If anyone was curious about the moment that got Hodge in DJLN's shit house lmao.
