I agree but that was the part that decided the game and he was just that much worse.
KSU only made 3 more FTs than us. Their shooting wasn't THAT ridiculous (23-29) compared to ours (20-30).
Yep. Kane and Ejim tried to will it, but it didn't happen. Missed some bad free throws, but Long and Thomas were a combined 0-11 on the night. They convert on four of those, which is a very realistic average, and it's down to the wire. They gave themselves a chance, but nobody else stepped up. SDW must really have some issues if he can't compete in floor value with a slumping Naz or Thomas.
Agreed, but those shots have to become more automatic, more second-nature for those guys, and they can. We've seen it from both of them.....just not consistently. Frustrating.
If we could count on just 33% on 3P's on Long and Thomas we would be significantly better. Maybe it would help if we got them an easy two-point look to start the game?

Defensive effort was poor for that stretch in the first half, but our bench doing absolutely nothing positive was the difference IMO. If our role players disappear in tough atmospheres, it does not bode well for us in either upcoming tournament.
Free throws and the tech foul. Played terrible and had a chance at the end. No fun, but not terrible.
I'm frustrated we're the last place team in 3pt %. This is the biggest weakness on the team this season
Our designated snipers go 0-9 tonight.

Well, that sucked. I'm going to finish my beer and go have sex...maybe I can even get my wife to join in.
I don't know what Fred is seeing or everybody else.....but out of the 277 NCAA teams out there, most of them use more than three players for the front court positions. I think most teams have extra players they use.....maybe they aren't the best, but the can give fouls, they can give the first squad a rest, they can boost the overall morale of the team with opportunities to even play, they can give some contemplation time for the starters when they routinely play like they are entitled and get into double digit deficits at the beginnings of halfs. Whatever.
I loved Johnnoy Orr and winning at home. That is cool...we still do that. No national championship this year, but I bet most teams don't win a national champoinship either.

agree with everything except for the part about ejim. He is a technical foul machine. No surprise there. Great player...can't control himself sometimes. Would probably give me the double birds for saying that
This team absolutely cannot survive all three of hogue, naz and Thomas not showing up. You can't depend on the big three to all have good games every night. They need some help and having three empty uniforms out there clanging shots won't cut it.
