• darbypitcher22

  

  Just thought I'd bring this up for a little discussion
  
  Turner
  
  
  
  Ron Lewis

  Define better.
  
  If you're talking about better as in most important, obviously it's Ron Lewis' shot. If you mean which one was more of a harder shot, it'd probably be Turner.
  
  But considering if Lewis misses that shot, they're out of the NCAAs and if ET misses that shot, it's onto the NCAAs probably as a 2 seed, 3 at worst, there was a lot more riding on Lewis' shot so you gotta give it to him.

  THIS!
  
  Turner had the better shot but Ron's was more meaningful.

  Better shot was Turner. 37+ footer as time expires.
  
  More important shot was Lewis. Saved OSU's tourney run, regular spot up 3 with time left.

  Had to be Ron Lewis. Saved the game against an 8 seed for the #1 team in the country according to some. Without that shot, OSU doesn't make the NC game and then Matta doesn't even really have the high profile success at OSU that he does now. That was a HUGE shot.

  Ron Lewis for all of the reasons above.

  The one thing I gather from this is how awesome Gus Johnson is.
  
  I remember when Ron Lewis hit that shot... I almost tipped our table over at BW3 along with a few of my friends... I love March Madness.

  Gus Johnson is awesome to listen to....... he pumps the energy from the arena right to your tv.

  Ron Lewis!

  I actually think the Lewis shot was harder. An essentially unguarded shot running towards the middle isn't as difficult in my mind as a deep curl with three hands in your face. And to hold off the nerves had to be near impossible.

  Lewis. Why coaches even allow a tying 3 pointer defies all logic. Memphis lost a warapped by national title by not foulng.

  Ron Lewis, for no other reason than he is a former Falcon just like me!

  Kind of agreed with this. The degree of difficulty on each shot was about equal IMO. More important? Lewis by far. But both were sick.

  This is a tough one.
  
  1. What Turner did is harder, but also involves more luck. But it's harder to have 2 seconds and have to run down and throw up the first thing you get.
  2. Turner won the game, Lewis just tied it. But Lewis did it on a bigger stage.
  
  This is a pretty good debate, they both have their arguments.
  
  I'm giving my vote to Turner--for the simple fact that it just added a big time MARCH highlight to his POY video.

  Lewis -- and it's not close.
  
  His shot allowed that team to go on to the Final Four and the National Title game.
  
  As terrific as Turner's shot was, in the grand scheme of things, nothing really changes if he misses it.
  
  The team is still Big Ten champions and going to the NCAA tourney, likely as a No. 2 seed.
