Free throws...................

IMHO th ebest way to improve FTs is to obviuosly put yourselves in a position that they arent critical at end of game

Dins vs ETSU went several times for multi minutes without a FG. Thats what doomed them

Correct, 7.5 minutes in the first half without a point and only 5 free throws the last 6 minutes of the second half.

UMASS lost a heartbreaker with 30 secs left in the game

Check out Frank Martin at the 5:20 mark. Thats why he doesnt have any hair

I found it interesting when GH played great coming off the bench the other day and sank like 3 of 4 free throws early. He seemed more at ease, no pressure. I think he ultimately went 6-12 from the line.

7-14 but still 50% which is an improvement.

he was at 34% for the year. Today he went 6 for 10

…..and missed 2 critical ones late that would have tied it.

move Hein to Bowser's position and put Johnston in Hein's position...would we get more offense that way inside??

I don't know Jess, I would not bench Bowser as he needs the PT to develop. I think he has the most upside potential of anyone on the Paladin roster. Remember this is the same guy that had 5 steals, 5 blocks, 5 assists, 6 rebounds, and 9 points in the previous game. What was different was the level of the competition. Those 2 bigs from UNCG were both a senior and a grad student and 230 lbs. Bowser is a 19 year old skinny sophomore.

Since we're doing Sunday nite coaching maybe starting Hughey and Bowser together against a team as physical as UNCG might work and let Hein and Johnston come off the bench????

Keep Bowser, Johnston for Hein. Hein off the bench.

[Louis Tully]

Play Johnston, Bowser, Hien, Hughey and the transfer from VPI when we play them again.
