FREE THROWS

[GopherRube]

Wow. If they keep shooting free throws this poorly into the season, we'll lose a lot of close games

Im beginning to expect a miss every time mbakwe or rodney go to the line. we should be up by 20+

Al is 50-50 or so it seems. You can usually cont on him for 1 out of 2.

It really is pretty scary. If Mbakwe is going to be living under the basket, pulling down second chances and getting hacked while going up, he's going to have to improve his free throws dramatically. Too often the Big Ten games come down to single points that are decided at the line.

I am waiting for dboy to forget his meds and come to this thread and rant and rave about how easy FT shooting is, as well as how easy it is to rebound missed FT's.

Free Throw shooting is easy, at least it should be for every player. No reason at all for any player that can hit a jumper not to hit most of their free throws.

Not my fault they can't hit their "free" throws. Lighten up Don.

tiki...I am lightened up. Did you not catch my sarcasm about dboy? Anyway, what was your FT shooting percentage in HS? 100,95,90,85,80,75, <75? Approximation is close enough.

I was around 70-75%. Get me in an open empty gym, and I can hit 90%. Every aspect of my game has deserted me except my free throw shooting. I'll always have the free throw.
