Shooting 60% from there is the equivalent of shooting 90% from two. Most of those shots were contested threes or shots taken 3-4 feet behind the line. We played a very good game and still lost. Yes, we maybe left five points at the free throw line, but we dominated or played respectably well in every other facet. If you're expecting a team to come out and beat their average in EVERY statistical category every night you need to stop posting on these boards until you know more about both math and sports.

No maybe about it. It cost us the game. A fundamental weakness in this team and most editions before it. Not a statistical fluke. If we can't beat a miserable ft average, something is wrong.

A lot of things cost us the game. Mediocre shooting in the 1st half cost us the chance to put it away early. Had a lot of bonehead turnovers early in the 2nd half. Porter and BJ were left rotting on the bench for way too long while they made their run and took the lead. Maybe we make a few of those FTs if Porter and BJ are in there taking them instead of Caver and Brandan. If we had Vassor kick Cohn in the knee during warm ups, we would have won.

If you lose and don't shoot 100% with 0 turnovers, you can always come up with reasons.
