Around two minutes left in the second half, "I don't know why they [Syracuse] aren't getting the ball into McNamara's hands. They don't realize what they need to do." Although McNamara hadn't hit anything at all in the second half. Nothing. But his hands....

but I think this comment was because McNamara was the best FT shooter in the Big East. I think he averages over 95% on the line and Packard's point was that if he had the ball, he would be almost automatic. And the fact that Carmelo Anthoney was also hurting and bringing up the ball. And Anthoney did miss a FT which gave Kansas a chance to tie at the end of the game. McNamara might have made both FTs and sealed the game earlier. But it was like Packard was saying this like Coach Biehiam (sp?) did not coach them to do it that way. They came out of a timeout and had that stradegy.
