Where are the "FTs don't matter apologists" that seem to be all over CF?

I apparently missed this.

Game threads are for venting.

Make more than 2 shots in 10 minutes and those free throws arnt as big of a deal.
Am I doing this right?

They're still free points.

Weren’t you the poster that thinks 80% from the line as a team is realistic?

 

[cyclone101]

We make half of them that we missed and this game is at least in reach.

Anyone that has ever said free throws don't matter is full blown dur.

we aint winning 2 games in the big 12

I frequent this message board and have no idea what you are talking about.

I'll bet right now any amount.

Well to be fair, we could have been 37/37 from the line and it wouldn’t have mattered. I’ve seen teams shoot far worse than 67%. Kinda silly to dwell on that. Never seen anyone say that FTs aren’t important though.

On a semi-related note, I thought it was quite something for Lard and Young to be our best free throw shooters tonight instead of our backcourt.

I think you'll be wrong on this prediction.

Young frequently is very solid at the line. You can tell he works at it. Not sure on Lard, he seems solid, but the freshmen are doing freshman things. Its going to be a struggle.

ISU shot 25/37, or 67% last night. Their season average is 72.4% which they would have hit with just 2 more free throws, so not really as poor of a shooting night from the FT line based on their prior performance. They lost because they regressed defensively primarily in the areas of pick-and-roll and 3-pt defense.
