Imagine basketball being your life and you can’t hit a free throw

'Bama had the same problem the past few years. It's so refreshing to see this team actually hit their free throws when it matters.

Imagine being one of the historically worst sec basketball programs but thinking you're a basketball school.

Can't say shite as you are 100% correct. This team absolutely cannot hit free throws.

It's a microcosm of the whole season. All in or ice cold. Rarely anything in between. Way too inconsistent and no true identity. Even the one thing they actually do well, defense, just disappeared in the 2ndnhalf when Houston adjusted.

The last 5 years of AU Bball have been better than anything I had witnessed before in 30 years, so it's not all doom and gloom, but when you have a 1 seed down 10 at the half in a tournament "home" game, you gotta show up in the 2nd half. This team didn't.

I had my rhythm and made my free throws. It’s the most frustrating thing when your college/pro team can’t make the easiest shot in the game outside of a layup/dunk.

Have you ever tried shooting a free throw in front of 10,000 screaming fans? Have you ever looked at those massive courts? The depth perception is very difficult to gauge how far the rim is, even on free throws. I've seen professional golfers miss 5 foot putts when huge money was on the line. It's called pressure.

Shaquille couldn't hit a free throw and he finally turned into something. So, there's hope.

Kind of like football being your life and not being able to kick a field goal. You know, Cade Foster.


That’s the recipient of your death threats in 2013. Just in case you forgot.

The easiest shot in the game. Get to relax, take your time and shoot with noone in your face. Dont get how some guys can't make free throws
