Game Thread: AZ @ Stanford

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Free throws, free throws, free throws....

 

[MI Nightmare]

Ohio State is a dumpster fire. Went from being ranked in the top-5 to losing five out of the last six... and about to drop from the rankings.

The Butnuts suck. Losing Deshaun Thomas crippled them. The best part is he left early to play ball in Europe.

 

[The Derski]

One of the biggest improvements from frosh to soph is free throw shooting.

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Clearly 100 free throws a day is not enough.

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Well hopefully all these fouls we are forcing on Stanford will be the reason we win in the end

 

[nogicat]

We have got to fix Free Throws
Its just RJ and AG
everyone else makes almost all their FTs

 

[nogicat]

MOTHER FUCKING FREE THROWS GOD DAMMIT

 

[GumbySquad]

8-17 on FTs

wow, that is terrible.

 

[GumbySquad]

Common York, hit both of these and start a trend in the other direction.

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

WE MADE 2 FREE THROWS IN A ROW!!!!

 

[MI Nightmare]

Got a game here.

Cardinal up!

 

[520GGATO]

With the way their playing I'm surprised they even have 30 at half. No ball movement, one on one play, cmon now.

KU 46, ISU 43 at the break, in all out shootout.

If it takes a loss for us to really take note of the Free Throw issue
Im all for it
Its been put on the backburner for a while now and needs to get fixed come March especially considering our style of play.

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Well as shitty as that first half was, we're only down 1. And the best news is Coach Miller is a master at half time adjustments. I expect us to make a run in the 2nd half and wear them down, especially with all the fouls rondae amassed on Stanford. Operation get Powell his 3rd foul early is in full effect!

 

[nogicat]

12-21 at the line
God fucking awful

Thing about it is... if a team is not bringing effort, a coach can yell at them in practice and get it fixed. If a team is being selfish and playing hero-ball, a coach can yell about it in practice and get it fixed.

... if a team is shooting poorly from the FT line, the more you yell about it, the worse it gets. Johnson, Tarc and Ashley are solid from the line, it's really just Rondae and Gordon that are shameful, and as 18 year olds you know 90% of that is in their heads.

Either way, your right, they need to get that turned around asap. It's becoming a big problem.

 

[GumbySquad]

RHJ and Nick: 4/12
Rest of the team: 8/9

Nick Johnson shooting 1/4 is an anomaly. RHJ's FTs (3/8) are a problem.

Two things that bug me the most about college athletics:
1. When coaches mismanage the clock in FB games
2. Missed FTs

Im furious right now

RJ and AG have no routine at the line or it changes each time
thats a big issue when it comes to FT shooting
need a routine
