cross-over... you're correct about stoudamire not getting the ball. they've said multiple times on sportscenter that the last play was designed for adams to have the ball, and either pass it down under or drive to the basket. unfortunately for adams, that's hard to do when there's a wall of illinois players in front of you.
it probably seemed good on paper, but there was more than enough time to run a better play than that... or at least shoot earlier and try for the put-back and/or foul.
