You Tube Gold: The Worst Play Of Kihei Clark’s Career Was Also His Last

Filed under:

What a shocking way to end a great career

Boy did Virginia let us down. What we’ve always said about Tony Bennett’s team we can sum up in a few bullet points.

So thanks a lot, Kihei. Thanks for that.

Just kidding.

Kihei Clark has been one of our favorite ACC players since he arrived at Virginia and he is more responsible for Virginia’s national title than almost anyone else because Purdue had them and his pass saved them.

So what happened was baffling: Clark was trapped with 8.9 seconds left and, rather than call timeout, just threw the ball as far as he could.

Unfortunately Furman’s Garrett Hien intercepted it in the backcourt and got it to JP Pegues, who hit a three with 2.2 left.

It was a sad end to Clark’s career, but that’s what this tournament does. Next time it could happen to Furman.

Which is why we watch.
