[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1573017, member: 4716"] Unfortunately, my feeling right now is that this team will lose 3 or 4 games solely at the free throw line. They may have an outlier or two where they go over 80 % as a team, but games under 60% in the B1G are just sitting there to be lost. Hacking Kofi is a turnover and a good strategy. Puts a lot of pressure on a team that likes to run to keep turnovers low and avoid droughts, also a past nemesis for this crew. One would think that these guys would become comfortable and efficient playing fast after year 3 with BU, but there are still too many momentum killing lulls that are baffling. Hoping we can slowly see them diminish. On a good note, it has been nice to see good shooting from the floor and arc, along with Curbelo lighting the team on fire with his aggressive play. Hope he becomes a perfectionist with hard work on shooting and turnovers....which have been improving lately. Also like recent energy brought by Grandison and Hawkins....similar to good Kipper....need that energy whenever their number gets called. [/QUOTE]
