Honestly they've been terrible from 3. If they are even an avg 3 team they are sucking hard


This ref on the bench side of the court while on D is a joke. He is awful

Yeah, we have three liabilities at free throw shooting.

Nice win with all of the injuries. Can't wait to get Dunans back.

Maybe they will start letting us shoot free throws from behind the 3-pt line

At the end of the game, I thought Brown, Harris, and Cim all were liabilities. Who else?

Just finished watching the second half. Nice win for Auburn, but a lot of it was Tenn shooting poorly, not anything positive that we did. It was a bit nerve wracking there at the end w/ all the missed free throws. And frustrating how many offensive rebounds we gave up to Tenn.

Still, a great way to start SEC play.

Thanks for the info.

Who all do we have injured and when are they expected to return?

A lot of UTs poor shooting was negated by all the offensive rebounds they got. I was impressed with Brown this game, and Lang looked better when he was in. Ready for Dunans to return.

Why is Brown a liability? Because he missed one?

Harris is decent (which is great for us) at 66%. Bowers and Spencer are awful.

Spencer has got to start playing smarter. All the talent in the world, but he looks foolish a lot of times. Can't stop fouling. And they're dumb fouls. Gets beat to a spot, and then body bumps the dribbler. About as dumb of a play as possible.

66% isn't decent.

Brown had been struggling from the stripe IRC

Brown just hasn't gotten to the line very much... his percentage would go up with more looks. It's s comfort thing... dudes got a sweet stroke

He is 4 for 8 for the season but I'm sure he can improve. He does have a nice stroke.

Good win overall. Harris looked like he was back in it offensively. I like seeing Lang take more shots. Brown is gaining confidence but there's no excuse for him to air ball a 3 pointer. Canty was on target.

Seriously? He's been struggling? He's 4-7 on the season. Hardly enough of a sample size to constitute struggling.

For a college player, who is a PF, 66% is decent.

Players with <70% FT, Dunans, Harris, Spencer, Bowers, Tahj SD, Bryce Brown, New Williams, Waddel

Ya, some haven't shot a lot of FT but while they are inexperienced I don't feel comfortable no matter how good their shot looks

He is 4-8 out of the season and as of now, he has proved to be a liability. Until I see otherwise, I won't feel good about him at the line. That's just the way it works for me.
