Free throw shooting has GOT to improve! It's pathetic.

Agree! It was just an all-around sloppy performance. Bad passing, ft shooting, and lack of rebounding. Don't win games that way, for sure.

It's sad to see the same issues every game. Yes, some we pulled out an won, but this team is not playing at the level it is capable of.

Free throw shooting has hurt us every game, consistently lower % than our opponents. Something so simple.

PGs should be evaluated on assists vs turnovers, not on points scored. Therein lies the problem, we don't really have a PG, but shooting guards.

It should be based off A/To ratio but you also have to be respectable from the field. A bad shot is basically a TO. We really haven't had a PG since O. I guarantee you O almost never had an 0-8 or 2-10 game. I'm not going to compare anyone to emily but she wasn't a great shooter so she was smart enough to attack and finish or kick it to an open teammate.
