How should be capitalized and there should be a period at the end there.
Crazy thing is. - had we made our foul shots- we would be in this game-
We'd be four closer, yes.
Of course, Jamel missed two, but then followed up his own miss for a bucket so I don't know if you'd count that.
Nah. Its our completely contested off-balanced 2-pointers that are the problem! Not the only shots we get that are uncontested (FT line).
So when our interior players are double and triple team perimeter is not open?
yeah good point. for as bad as we have played we must have left 10-12 points on misses from the line.
We have 8 missed FTs tonight. 12-for-20.
Yes, Artis' put back replaced two of those misses. Not the other 6, though.
I'm thinking there are just some teams that you don't play well against. Period. Louisville is playing great defense but we haven't made many changes in our sets, done any ball screens, nothing. The Cards are even defending the free throw line better than anyone else has this yr
If we make our FGs like we usually do, and not turning it over like we usually don't, we're kicking their ass.
They haven't really. They could have let this be a 20 point loss (or more), but kept things from getting terribly out of control.
So there's that.
When a 92% FT shooter missed 3 in a row.... that's more than "variance".
That's "nerves".
80% is 16-20, we got 2 on a put back, so we left 2 points on the table if you look at it like that, since we have 12.
Don't know if BC has strong big men, but it will be interesting to see if NC State posts up all night.
How can you leave 10-12 points at the line when you have missed 8 fts?
Man, you are stupid.
If I'm rating the players that played the worst tonight, based on their play vs how they normally play:
1. Artis. The absolute worst he's played in 3 years.
2. Robinson. Did not get us into our offense at all.
3. Jeter. Woeful.
4. Smith. Invisible.
5. Jones. Turnover machine in the first half.
6. Maia. Did nothing.
7. Luther. Overmatched
8. Wilson. Overmatched.
9. Cam Johnson. Overmatched.
10. Young. Only guy who wasn't overwhelmed by the moment.

I am one who thinks Robinson has been a good, solid player who will be missed next year. But when he is off his game, he REALLY stinks.
