Jameer Nelson Jr. hits game-winning shot to lift TCU past Kansas State

By Steven Johnson

At risk of blowing a late lead at Kansas State, TCU guard Jameer Nelson Jr. stepped up and delivered one of the biggest clutch shots of the season as his last second 3-pointer lifted the Horned Frogs to a 75-72 win at Kansas State on Saturday.

With 41 seconds remaining in the game TCU seemed poise to pull away for a needed Big 12 road win. However, Horned Frogs’ miscues, including missed free throws and a turnover by Micah Peavy with 15.6 seconds left, allowed Kansas State to claw back to 72-70.

Nelson then was called for a loose ball foul on the inbound pass despite one official calling a five-second violation at roughly the same time. The Wildcats’ Cam Carter made both free throws to tie the game, 72-72.

Huge win with a tough 4 game stretch coming up.

Seems like every game in the Big 12 is tough, but Cincy and Baylor at home plus BYU and Tech on the road doesn't seem too bad compared to what we've already been through.

Seems like 2-2 is very attainable with 3-1 a possibility.

And yes we could also go 0-4.

Man if not for some strange calls the refs and free throw shooting (in two games) and turnovers (in another game) the Frogs could be 21-4 and 10-2 in the Big 12.

Maybe better said that in relative terms the next four are tougher than our final two game stretch:

Depending on the site, our win % for the final six games are

Bart torvak:
Tech- 31%
Cincy- 67%
Baylor- 53%
BYU- 24%
WVU- 72%
UCF- 75%

Massey:
Tech- 37%
Cincy- 66%
Baylor- 48%
BYU- 39%
WVU- 60%
UCF- 72%

Team rankings:
Tech- 39.2%
Cincy- 65%
Baylor- 52%
BYU- 28.1%
WVU- 77.8%
UCF- 76.6%

So on average for the next four games we should win about 1.83 wins. For the last 2 we should average 1.44 wins.

We sure tried screwing it up late. What a crazy good shot for the win though.

If we’re anywhere near a bubble team, 3.25 wins should push us ahead of all the teams with just 3 wins.

Even better - 3.27 wins!

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts....
