Deshaun Tate joins Thomas Mott from Minnesota after the Final Four games.
Mott asks Tate about the foul and the double dribble called believing it will be a huge controversy going forward.Tate thinks the foul call was correct based on contact with the body and giving the shooter a space to land. Everyone at this time is looking for the solution on replays in BIG games. With so many referees and fans, we want to get the calls 100% right especially when it can change the outcome of an important game.
Kyle Guy hits all three free throws to seal the deal for Virginia. Tates racks his memory thinking if anyone has made 'clutch' free throws under pressure like Guy did ever in March Madness- Tate says he hasn’t seen anything like that in “April Madness”. Guy talks abbout what he was thinking, "That was me focusing, I knew they called a foul. I knew that I got behind the line for three shots because I practiced that. I just literally told myself that we dream of these moments, and to be able to make one happen was special."
Tate talks about Matt Mooney hitting shots and Tariq Owens altering shots based on his body type. “The team fed off his energy.” Many people contributed to the win and Michigan State tried to stop Texas Tech's offense but Jarrett Culver came out and affected the game defensively and had some shots that real mattered. What does Tate expect on Monday? Tate sees two defensive teams ‘mucking’ it up, "Happy to see defense prevail in college wins with the NBA and NFL showing a lot more love to offense."
