I saw that because it was SportsCenter's top play of the day. I agree with you.
The woman who received the pass, Cardozo, is their 6'8" big. She had only one previous three-point attempt in her career, which she missed.
On the video, the other three Tennessee players inside the lines are guarded tightly -- nobody on the inbounds passer, so literally five defenders guarding three offensive players -- and Cardozo is left completely alone standing on the three-point arc, nobody within eight feet of her.
It's almost as if the Tennessee coach thought, "Hey, this will be fun. I'll play the other three players tight and give up a free unguarded three-point shot to their hulking post who hasn't left the paint all season. One way or another, this will be on SportsCenter."
