You would think a team that goes to the basket this much would be at the free throw line more but we have shot much less free throws in previous years. Most of the drives end in offensive fouls. The team needs to learn how to draw contact without the offensive foul

It seems like the guys make up their mind when their outside the 3 point line that they're driving to the basket and throwing up a shot. No look to drive and kick, no matter the defensive positioning, just driving heads down and hoping for the best.

Probably because in works in practice.

I think we have a WINNER!!! sad but probably right on point.

Maybe but on the same token I have seen some really nice passes to a second and third guy and its a 50/50 on the shot going in.

Big test this week and we are clearly over matched for the first time ever in this series. I just want to see them keep improving and things start to com together next month.
