Last night we were 14-17 while UTEP was 34-37.....not a typo, they made 34 of 37. The first half we had 0 attempts while UTEP went a perfect 13 of 13. That makes probably 6 or 7 times we've gone a half without shooting a FT and probably close to 10 games we've shot 2 or less FT in a half.
we foul wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy toooooooooooooooooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
toss in our inability to dribble/penetrate that generates opportunities to visit the charity stripe and yeah, you're pretty much fuxxored at that point...
we needed a true PG yesterday.....
if you ask BDR, he'll still pine about those kickoffs/starting field position that he believes doesn't matter...
To get to the foul line you have to attack the rim....on both sides of the court. When I played I would get the ball and drive just to get a breath at the foul line. Maybe lay on the floor a sec. Old trick.
that's what dribble/penetrate means, pal....we actually did that today....
Hey. We made more free throws than they did. So it's not that. We can't shoot threes either.
huh???....let's review...
dribble/penetrate gets ya to the line....we're saying the same thingy.....I have no clue what you're arguing...
they were poppin' treys against our man D until the last handful of mins...
we got three ticky tack fouls ~5 min. mark that put them in the bonus....I don't ref bash, but two of those three were BS....I only saw one that was valid....we were within 3 at that point....it changed the game....
at one point, we had 20 FT attempts to their 8....it was close to that....
we don't have a legitimate PG (that's a crippler), our legs are toast by mid 2nd half, and yes, we can't hit the trey for shite....toss in the TOs, and we'll be hard pressed to win more than a couple more by year end....
I have to give Jay credit for one thingy today....he made a necessary adjustment this afternoon by having them drive to the bucket....that kept us in the game today...
regardless, we're 1-13....
