Are we terrible, bad, or just lousy?

I couldn't believe USC's Coach didn't intentionally foul everybody but Shake-and even Shake was only 60%. Very questionable coaching

That game totally got away from Enfield. He came out with a great game plan that frustrated us at first. But, adjustment by adjustment Jank tipped the balance.

Yeah...free throws are gonna end up costing us. In fact, they already have.

Shockingly bad on the home court free-throw line.

Looked to me like we started poorly because of nerves but have to wonder about too many guys. That's why we need the ball in Shake's hand at crunch time in close games.

Was thinking this last night. Chargois usually a good FT shooter looked nerved. Douglas too. Hope it was just the first big game infront of huge crowd jitters. Jarrey just can’t figure out the FT line. Whitt and Gu don’t shoot many.

Also looked like the misses got inside their heads a bit too. The guys need to practice a bit more and the coaches just need to keep them confident.

What is the team free throw percentage for the year and what was it last night?

I remember noting Akoy was about an 80% Free Throw Shooter in the past but so far he's been hittin' and missin". Should improve

We just need to be hitting 75% by the time March rolls around

FT% on the year is now 66% which is 10th in the AAC. That is bad. Last night we were 43.5% :shock:

We need to get back to around 69% ish. 70% is considered average.

Might be time for Jarrey to try the Wilt Chamerlain/Rick Barry

Rick Barry was .893 lifetime in NBA

Note Rick Barry's son is hitting 88% at Florida

Agreed. I don’t think at this point free throws will be the soul reason if we lose a game. If we are hitting between 70 and 75 percent we should be okay when tournament time comes. And we are not that far off from that.
