Juzang's threes before halftime were huge (not only the buzzer-beater from midcourt). Lewis said he knew Juzang "was confident" he would hit the 40-footer. I asked Juzang if he felt he was a confident player and Amaker almost started laughing. http://www.nycbuckets.com/2018/03/1-harvard-74- 4-c... |

Everyone in my section was convinced Juzang jumped from the backcourt to receive that pass and didn’t establish himself in the front court before the shot - did the video show he didn’t? That’s leaving aside the 15-yard roughing flag they should have thrown on Lewis which allowed Juzang to get the shot. |

I didn't think it mattered because the ball wasn't possessed and controlled in the front court. |

Video shows Juzang had left the backcourt before he touched the ball. He hadn’t yet established both feet in front Court but I don’t think it matters. Mo ... I mean Chris .... Lewis on the other hand definitely closed on that pass like an NFL linebacker Regardless, after a choppy start Harvard won going away. Should be an intense game tomorrow. |

Well if Juzang left the backcourt, caught the ball in the air, and landed with it in the front court before rising for the shot, that’s a violation. |

Fascinating rules question, but I believe the ball would not be deemed secured and possessed off the Lewis tip back to Juzang, in which case it wouldn’t matter where Juzang was. |

That's what I think too but not sure. |

Since none of the officials saw the obvious Lewis foul, gotta assume they thought Harvard had possession of the ball throughout the sequence! |

Not randomly tipped, but not fully possessed. I believe there’s a high standard for what front court possession is that goes beyond what Lewis was able to manage. |
