[QUOTE="JFGsCoffeeMug, post: 1568537, member: 74571"] In the Rutgers postgame, Underwood talked about how it hurts us on both defense and offense when we defend well, but then bail the other team out and let them shoot FTs. Giving the other team FT opportunities also prevents us from getting out in transition (one of our strengths). The FT disparity is helping to pad our opponents' scores. I think the other two components are turnovers and offensive rebounds. Turnovers and rebounds give opponents extra scoring opportunities. Offensive rebounds often lead to easier scoring opportunities. Looking at our three losses so far (the only games where we allowed our opponent to score 80+): Baylor: +5 FTM/+8 FTA/-5 TO/+5 OREB/+3 REB Mizzou: +9 FTM/+3 FTA/+5 TO/+3 OREB/+9 REB Rutgers: +14 FTM/+21 FTA/-4 TO/+5 OREB/+1 REB [/QUOTE]
