According to Mark Pope, Otega Oweh called his game-tying shot before it even left his hand.
Pope told the media after today’s game that Oweh raised for the shot and said, “that’s a bucket!”
Of course, 35-feet later, the shot hit the backboard and went through the basket to send the game to overtime.
Check out Pope’s comments after the game:
