Revisiting a poll question after another Parsons buzzer-beater
by Jon McDonald
When Chandler Parsons hit his first buzzer-beater of the month (against N.C. State on Jan. 3), Gatorsports.com asked the question “Will the UF men’s basketball team win another game on a buzzer-beater this season?”
The Gators don’t hit shots to win the game as time expires very often, so it was no surprise that 62% of the 1,196 responses were “No.”
The 38% of you that said “Yes” should pat yourself on the back on your way to the nearest slot machine or Lotto retailer.
It makes me wonder, what percentage would have responded “Yes” had the question been: Will Chandler Parsons win another game on a buzzer-beater this season?
Chances are, the response would have been considerably more slanted on the “No” side.
What do you think?
And while you’re thinking, here’s some video of Chandler’s latest late-game heroics.
As a side note, if Parsons is going to keep doing that, he needs to wear a helmet.
