Well....3point % jumped all the way from 12% in the first game to 21% in the second, so I'm guessing that % will jump to about 30% in the final game.

Comparing our stats to Iowa....they shot 40% from 3 in their first game, but the lightning in the gym was probably superior and brought their own balls. Also didn't do any sightseeing in Paris and didn't suffer from jet lag...maybe they took a cruise ship to France.

Fran's teams can usually shoot and execute offense. Defensively, however, ... (258th in defensive efficiency last season)

Back to free throws… i cannot understand this element of our team. If you watch the pros they take every shot seriously and concentrate on making every oneGood teams or bad.
We have a lackadaisical culture when it comes to free throws, or to three pointers. Zero concentration just flip it up there. And yet the teams that make the most free throws and rebound win virtually every game. I don’t know why we focus on half of that equation.
It has to stem from the coaching. We wille surely lose games due to poor shooting if we don’t improve.
And i hate the look.

Only our least athletic bigs had bad days at the FT line combining for 8/19. Thats not all that crazy, I expected better from Guerrier

Guerrier's misses at the free throw line were bad. I believe he even airballed one. Not a good sign at all.

His last four years FT %, 60.6, 67.3, 64.2, 58.1. So, yeah, not a good sign at all.

He might just be parked on the bench, it almost looked like the yips it was so bad

Between Coleman, Rodgers, Goode, Shannon, Domask we have enough depth at that position we aren't forced to play him if hes not going to bring anything

A bad FT shooter that is also in the process of transforming his body composition through Fletching is not the best combo in the short term.

We do, but Guerrier wasn't brought in for his free throw shooting.

Free throw % makes me want to gouge my eyes out every year. I just do not understand why Illinois continues to be so poor in that area.

Maybe we should ask AI if they have an answer?

Fine.
  1. Skill and Technique: Poor free throw shooting could be attributed to the players' skill levels and their shooting techniques. If players haven't developed solid fundamentals in shooting free throws, it can lead to inconsistent performance.
  2. Pressure and Mental Focus: Free throws are often taken in high-pressure situations, and the mental aspect of the game can play a significant role. Players might struggle to maintain focus and confidence at the free-throw line, leading to missed shots.
  3. Practice and Repetition: Successful free throw shooting requires consistent practice and repetition. If the team doesn't prioritize free throw practice or if players don't spend enough time honing their skills, it can lead to poor performance during games.
  4. Coaching and Strategy: The coaching staff's approach to free throw shooting can impact a team's performance. If the coaching staff doesn't provide effective guidance on technique, mental preparation, and strategy, it can contribute to poor free throw shooting.
  5. Team Dynamics: Team dynamics and chemistry can affect performance in various aspects of the game, including free throws. Players who feel pressure or lack support from their teammates might struggle more at the free-throw line.
  6. Injury and Fatigue: Injuries or physical fatigue can impact a player's ability to shoot free throws accurately. Injured players may have altered shooting mechanics, and tired players might not have the necessary energy and focus to perform well.
  7. Game Situations: The context of the game, such as the score, time remaining, and opponent's strategies, can affect free throw performance. Players might feel additional pressure in critical moments, leading to missed shots.
  8. Random Variability: Like any skill-based activity, there is an element of randomness and variability in free throw shooting. Even highly skilled players can have off days or go through slumps.

I am not a big John Wooden fan. But he always recruited athleticism., He felt they could teach the skills once the player was recruited. It proved to be a very successful approach.
