Free throws, turnovers

When the only way you can win is slashing to the hole but you can't make free throws.........I mean, that's a spiral of death

If Riley Norris gets more than 8 minutes a game next season I'm going to be soooooooooo pissed

I'm not a Norris fan, but I don't know who else we can put in. It would be nice to get King back

I read it wrong too. I'm sorry. You're right

If we even shoot like 50% at the line, we might win

Went about like I expected outside of Kentucky not making a few more 3s.

I haven't picked up a basketball in years, but I promise I could at least hit 5-10 FTs

We have to be one of the only teams in the country that could lose to Kentucky when they struggle like that on offense

Not sure why he's the one you're picking on. Up until the final 10 minutes, he was our best player...

Missed 17 free throws and lost by 9.


We should have won that game, but we shite our pants instead.


Avery deserves more credit than he's given tbh.

One thing is for sure, under Anthony Grant we would get down 18 and it's over. There's no chance of coming back. You'll likely lose by 25.

Under Avery Johnson, we get down 18, there's still a chance we can make a game out of it. They may not be any good offensively, but they're mentally tough as shown tonight and against South Carolina. Imagine our 5-stars next year being like that. We can win some games then.

...but could you if you had to spin the ball side ways on the shot? If you want to make yourself laugh, just try to shoot a free throw with a side way spin on it. Hell, the Nigerian tries to shoot them with his feet together...try that and see how much balance you got.
Folks, this free throw shooting thing is an unnecessary embarrassment. Even with the extremely limited talent on this team, there is no excuse to not be able to shoot at least 60%.

I don't think it works like that for this type of game


FT shooting absolutely removed the possibility of winning this game though

Never understand how D1 players cannot shoot free throws. Embarrassing.
