    Bah... Mobley's made some key shots, and he's missed others. Francis has a better % overall, so let him take the final shot. I've never been a big believer that "clutch players" really exist. People basically play the same the entire game, but "final shots" have too small of a sample size for statistics to play true at the end. Hence players get reputations for things that are really just flukes.

    I will admit that there are a *few* players that often choke... probably because of nerves, youth, etc. But why exactly do you think that some people just randomly "turn it on" at the end. If they could, then why don't they play that way more often?

    Why is it that everytime BC defeats a major conference opponent, that opponent promptly goes on a losing streak?

    PS. Notre Dame sucks
