Looking at the box score I see that Sencire made an appearance… thought he was taking a redshirt?

I really want to believe, but this game should have never been in doubt.

Do they not practice their free throw shooting at all? Seriously? This is becoming a broken record. I'm more concerned about the free throw shooting than the slow 1st half that they had. They are going to lose all the close 1 and 2 possession games due to their inability to shoot free throws

I like to see Goode hitting his 3's though for a second straight game. That is very encouraging. We need his shooting badly

Pretty confident that he will.
Make a free throw I hope so. Question is how many attempts does he need. J/k

He actually regressed this year shooting free throws so it has to be a mental block. His form looks better still has a low arc. You know he knows it is a weakness and he works on it.

Moretti looked decent. Ran offense well, don't remember any turnovers
Yeah. Encouraging. He did has a missed layup opportunity where he wasn't paying attention and was just looking to pass. Once he gets more confidence, that should disappear.

Another game , another slow start......................
Another game , another missing layups............
Another game , another missed FT debacle..........
Another game , another hot second half...............
Another game , another cohawk lackluster performance....................( LOL , I just had to say it )

1st half was a walk on the playground matador D for us........Second half was a melodious stretch of high grade music to my ears..
Well , with Scott Beatty calling the game it was anything but melodious............It really really was...............
