Kuchinski's shot wasn't that bad

I have to disagree with Zachary's post about Greg Kuchinski's heave at the buzzer.

Generally, I think it would be inappropriate to take a buzzer-beating shot in a blowout like that (or even if you were up by 5). However, the fact that it was a 40-footer makes this shot okay in my book.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a thing where you just chuck the ball at the hoop as the game winds down. It wasn't after Penn passed the ball around for 20 seconds wasting the clock. It wasn't a fast-break layup.

It was just a guy grabbing a rebound and throwing up a prayer. I don't think anyone on Lafayette would have cared if the ball went in, and in fact they might just have said that it was an appropriate end to the night.

Was Kuchinski's shot necessary? No. But I don't think it was so low class either.
