I've got some journeyman steel workers staying in an apartment I rent on my property on short term basis' from Iowa, and have for the last few months. Good guys.

But I had this text exchange this morning with them.

You’re a better person than me. I would have charged them double after that. 😝

So I have a wild kingdom kind of vibe on the golf course behind my house, and a pair of Egyptian geese have mated and are guarding a new brood by the big pond.
A couple hawks harass the ducks and these geese pretty much every day.
Watching from my back porch with coffee this morning and the mom and dad geese are smoking this hawk🤣
Vibes.

If we bring the same level of intensity we’ve brought the first 3 games we’ve got a good chance. Just got to play our game and not settle for 3s, and we should have an advantage on the glass. And I think we will have advantages with Keaton, Andrej, Mirk and Tomi as they just don’t have a ton of size in their front court. Need to hammer whoever Koch is guarding. Defensively have to minimize mistakes and can’t lose their shooters. Nothing easy.

They’re on a heater. We’re on a heater. I think both teams have been the tougher team in all 3 games played so far, and I think the tougher team will win. Here’s hoping it’s us.

So I didn’t start a thread but this was the other shoe choice my brother thought deserved some real thought for gameday.
I thought it was a no brainer for the first pair but he hesitated?

I’ll let Loyalty chime in

I think they were just exhausted from playing 40 minutes of D. Something they hadn't really done all year for both halves lol.
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.
