That was one of the worst free throw shooting performances I have ever seen. Did they even crack the 40% mark? Simply unbelievable.

whose was worse? KUs the other night or Texas'? I know Kansas missed 20 but not sure how many they made

 

[artvandelay]

they are memphis of 2 years ago, without the point guard.

make sure Rick Barnes stays employed with his stellar offensive schemes. Good teams always have a three-headed monster at PG. You haven't heard?

It really is a good strategy. They shot 37% against OU and some people on this board acted as if they simply gave us the game at the line as if they are normally a good FT shooting team but just missed them on Saturday.

But if you look at it, they were 10-27. If they had shot their normal % they would have been 17-27. Thats only 7 points. We won the game by 9.

Remember how well we started off the season?

don't forget to include a freshman who won't stop shooting no matter how many times he misses.

How do you shoot a basketball every day for 10+ years and be that bad from the foul line? I mean, they shoot free throws every day of their lives and can't make them.

 

[artvandelay]

The one that's mind boggling is Avery Bradley. He shoots a Shaq-like percentage. I don't care what the draft boards say, a guard who is 6'2" and shoots 41% from the line is not a lottery pick yet.

Rick Barnes... does less with more consistently.

Free Throws and PG play are essential for success in general and more specifically runs in the tournament.
