IU at Illinois Game Thread (1/24 - 9pm - BTN)

I keep the stats up on my phone. He’s 67% on the year.

He was saying he was 75% last year. He should be higher than the 67%.

Looks like Green is getting tore up on the defensive end to me.

I know, just throwing it out there.

I am sure he is getting there a lot more. I am guessing he isn’t as good as his percentage last year.

Idk. He was 89-118 in his first 2 years.

FREE THROWS. Jesus

Going to lose it from the line. Disgusting

Just ridiculous

That was a smart foul by Illinois. Since we don't make free throws, there was a good chance they'd get it back with no time coming off the clock.

FREE THROWS. Jesus

They always seem to come back to haunt us too

We gotta be ranked 300 something in FT percentage. Just horrible.

This is shaping up to be one of those games we should win by 15-20, but we'll end up winning by 3-4 -- or we'll lose. 

[Bigred3588 1,535]

Our FT shooting is going to cost us a game at some point, and it very well may be this one.

[IUHAHN81 2,188]

Literally free throws r basically a TO for us.  

[TheWatShot 14,066]

I was hoping to see us get the lead up to double digits by halftime, but we're just too mistake-prone and we don't do the little things well enough.

Coming in 299th in FT%, 325th in 3%. How we're winning any games is a miracle.

We missed 10 FT’s against Duke and Duke beat us by... 10 points.

I hear you. But he is playing a lot more energy minutes. As a whole we are worse than what we should be at the line. He was 73.9 last year. Not a ton off of his average. He shot 88 the whole year. I bet he gets 150. I could see him end at 70%. I don’t think he is a 75% foul shooter.

Free throws and missed layups have cost us big—but good defense has kept us ahead. Solid first half—McRob with some bonus scoring and Juwan beastly as usual—finish this Hoosiers!

He’s a good enough shooter to be at 75% IMO. He was hitting early in the year. Just recently he’s been missing a ton

[Bigred3588 1,535]

At this point, Miller needs to start assessing penalties for free throw percentage. 1/2 mile at the end of every practice for each percentage point you shoot under 80 for guards. Same under 75 for forwards. Or maybe some suicides. I bet this nonsense would stop.
