Hield didn't miss any free throws late, he was the one who scored 46 points. Lattin, #12, missed that free throw at the end of regulation.

I stand corrected.

What was cringeworthy was Lattin missing a FT to basically win the game for OU.

My point is, this - It's annoying when people imply or outright blame official(s) for teams winning or losing when 99.9999% of the time it's the coaches and players that control their destiny.

How would you all describe the demeanor or motivation of the official during th moments when he T'd up Self?

Calm?

Vindictive?

Other?

Personally, I think he was nothing but the consummate professional in that situation - giving Self exactly what was earned. He showed no emotion as he walked to the table to report while Self threw a tantrum directly at him from mere inches away like someone just spit on his Prairie Village burrito.
