Hence the “on the road.”

Nothing called shocked me for facing a top team away from home.

I see Bruce still doesn’t believe in spending time on practicing free throws


Free throws and defensive rebounds are killing us for the 2nd straight year.

Enlighten me then oh wise one
I guarantee they practice free throws as much as any team in the country. I can also guarantee in practice these guys are mostly burning the nets up.

Houston didn’t miss free throws?

Houston is 6-11 on free throws. They must not practice them either.

That line up wasn't good. Kelly was really the only one who could score out there.


Is it me, or is CMB not really contributing much? He was stellar last year.

He was great in game 1.

He got in early foul trouble today. Hadn’t been able to be out there much.

Jesus Christ. This is the number one team in KenPom and we are ON THE ROAD.

That we’re in a position to win it at all is a blessing.

Bad matchup for him this game. Dude is a twig out there. His midrange game isn’t going to work a whole lot in this one. Gonna need to use a shot fake from 3 to drive and find some space.

Their guards are getting those shots. For us it’s the forwards.

I mean we shot like 75% from the line last season didn’t we?

People that think Bruce doesn’t practice free throws are just ignorant.

He got two foul calls early. He’ll loosen up after half.

You’re telling me we only practice our free throws 75% of the amount of time we are supposed to? fricking Bruce.

This is equivalent to making one we missed. I don’t think we are going to see a very good FT% when every FT is being taken by a 4 or 5, but even if we were perfect from the stripe we are still losing.
