He walked away to a position 10 feet behind the 3-point line and put his hands on his knees, looking nowhere in particular but certainly not at the activity near the goal. It was just as well. Behind him, his team was being eliminated from the 2019 NCAA Final Four, from the possibility to win the national championship that seemed invitingly tangible just a few short seconds before....
