UC Santa Barbara found themselves in the position you want to be. Amadou Sou had just hit two free throws and gave the Gauchos a 1 point lead. Creighton came down and missed the shot, but Christian Bishop got the offensive rebound for the Bluejays, and then as he tried to pass the ball outside to setup another chance, UCSB reached in and was called for a foul.

So, the 6-7 junior forward who has shot 57% from the line all season steps up to the line to shoot the one-and-one free throw that will determine his team’s season. And calmly drills the first free throw. And calmly drills the second free throw. The Blue Jays have re-taken the lead.

UCSB has one more chance – they come down the field and make a great pass into the lane to Sou, who goes up for the heavily guarded layup. He draws a little contact from the smaller defender as he steps to the basket (who to be fair, looked like he had position so a good no-call), shoots the ball, and watches as it hits the back of the rim and bounces out.

Creighton survives and advances on what appears to continue to be Chalk Day.
