re: Look on the bright side, this is better for us in the long run

I'm sorry you can't add and actually think FT% matters in a 2 point game when you give up 10 additional points to your opponent and 20 additional attempts via the free throw stripe.

Close games are won and lost at the free throw line.

Always have been, always will be, every coach in the country understands this except John Calipari.
