You remember that, right? You remember when Patrick Ewing appeared out of nowhere and blocked Da’Sean Butler’s layup that could have won last year’s game. Oh, the controversy. No matter how many times I watch the video, I can’t convince myself of anything other than it was almost impossible to differentiate between a block and a goaltend.

As you might imagine, Butler still thinks about that play no matter how hard he tries not to think about it. He’s been asked and has asked himself if he would do anything different — pump-fake, pass, dunk, etc. — if he could do it all over again and the answer is no … with an asterisk.

“If I could go back, I’m not going to lie to you, I’d probably lay it up again,” Butler said. “I’d hurt my hand in the Marshall game (three days earlier) when I punched the (basket support).

“I couldn’t really shoot the ball, so I probably would have laid it up. If I had two healthy hands, I would have definitely tried to dunk it.”
