Is Haws clutch?
I'd love to see a breakdown of shots Tyler has taken in the last minute in close games over the course of his career. I think some of us suffer from unrealistic expectations and it compounds the grief when we lose and leads to overly broad, asinine, unfounded comments. Maybe Tyler is clutch, maybe Tyler isn't clutch. Instead of pointing to one game and saying how this "always" happen, why not back up your comment with some reasoned analysis? Same thing applies to BYU "always" loses close games, BYU is "never" up for the big games, etc.

As to expectations, in this article on whether LeBron is clutch (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/58575/lebron-james-isnt-clutch-think-again), the author points out that (since 2003) of those who have taken 10 or more game tying or go ahead shots in the last minute of a game, the average field goal percentage is 28%. 28%! Even LeBron, who has the best average among active players in that timeframe, is sitting at 43.8%.

Tyler missed one yesterday. He made one against St. Mary's before Dellavedova hit that incredible shot and he made one against TX last year. What other shots can you guys remember him taking in the last minute when the game was tied or we were down 1 or 2?
