My guess is that all of Smith and Bardo 3-point shots would have been long 2’s on today’s court.

You forgot Bruce Douglas.

Top of scoreboard is giving me a 2005 flashback —but with no refs to steal a championship away from the Illini

I thought the 22-23 version was extremely entertaining to watch, until MM’s head bounced off the floor almost higher than his vertical, and then he went 1 for 30-ish from 3 until the end.
