How could Gus and Josh
play 27 and 28 minutes and not draw one foul? Was the officiating that bad. The other team, especially McClanahan, seemed to be getting a lot of calls. Is he like the kid from New Orleans several years ago that could draw a foul or make the shot when he penetrated on every possession?

On the other hand, the women's team made more free throws than the other team shot, which Steve has always said is probably a sure way to win.04-cheers

They didn't draw fouls because Josh and others were too busy jacking up threes and not passing up good shots to get better shots. 29 three point shots! Come on, Man! On occasion, that will work. Usually, not so much.

The jacking up of 3's was painful to watch. I guess it is "fun" when they go in, but I'd rather watch good fundamentally sound basketball. Maybe it is harder to do, without James, but Gus and Roger seemed to have pretty good success when we got the ball to them inside.

RE: How could Gus and Josh
29 threes? Wow. That's even too many for me. Unless they were all really good shots, which is highly doubtful. I didn't see or hear the game, so I have no idea of how they came about, but I did see that Ben only made one out of five, and I don't think Josh's percentage was very good either. James Reid had a good shooting game, but most of the others were not very good. I don't know what has happened to Ben's three point shooting. He has been a very high percentage shooter in the past, but maybe that's because he wasn't taking many shots. You would think that he would have his best year as a Senior, but he's had his worst, percentage wise. Someone probably changed his shooting mechanics this year.

You could always count on Ben only taking "good" shots. That's why his percentage was so good. I certainly don't view Ben as jacking up a lot of ill-advised shots this season. But, he is certainly putting up more contested shots and even an occasional "what are you doing Ben?" type of shot. Not many of those, but enough to drop his shooting percentage a few points.

I'd say more than a few points. I haven't checked lately, but he's probably arouond 33% and in the past he was around 45%, or at least in the 40's. And I've hardly ever seen him make one when we needed it late in the game when the game was close. I have seen James Reid make a few of those at crunch time. I was glad to see James take more three's last night. He shot like 44% for the game. I'd take that every game.

I respect your right to call 23 wins bad basketball.

We might, and that would be disappointing. Whether all of those losses are the result of bad basketball I leave to those who believe they know much more about basketball than I who has watched the college game at its highest level for nearly 60 years.
