There’s a lot worse things than that you could do. I say as long you haven’t gone full Imelda Marcos…enjoy it.

Second place is 1st loser
Have to make free throws. I don’t know what has happened, but that has become a major issue.

People are trying to find reasons for it to make themselves feel better. I don't care if it's nerves, being tired....whatever the excuse. All teams play the same 40 minutes. This is a huge storyline. It's been THE reason that we've lost multiple games. It made the Houston game FAR more interesting than it needed to be.

Have to step up and make them.

Looks like Wager is hook and holding Mirks arm. Hard to tell from that angle

A 21 yr old relic. Still in the bag I got it in. Never worn. Still has tags. Best part is the Chief. I remember when I bought it… most of the designs had the Block I logo. Weren’t many of the Chief.

Sure would like a new one……

I remember I had the gray T-shirt that had the four ticket stubs with each team on a ticket.

Mr. Tibbs
This free throw issue has not been a one off situation. We lost to Alabama, Wisconsin(twice) and I believe MSU and all of those losses could be directly attributed to free throw shooting.

We don't even take into account missing the front end, which is the equivalent of a turnover.

Against Houston, we built an enormous lead, but our inability to close that game out with 5 minutes to go created a bit of a dicey situation.

As we sit here today, if we NEED two free throws, who do you want up there that you feel confident about?

If we get beat in a game because the other team just played better and seemed better, that's fine. UCONN and Michigan fall into that category. I can live with that.

It would be a real shame if we get bounced because we shoot 55% from the line or shoot 80% all game, then gag at the end by going 1 of 6.

it’s likely to be a game deciding issue tonight or next week . it’s mind boggling & it’s been an issue on just about every team Brad’s coached for us .

seriously , BU has to figure this out in years to com . it’s costing us 5-6 pts per game
