Because 66% is 1.32 points per possession, which is excellent.

It’s a dang shame when a team is below standards at the line, but it’s clearly not a make or break statistic.

Definitely not make or break for a team but would of made life a lot easier if they could just hit FT’s. If I’m remembering right from Michigan’s run people were fouling Simpson late because he FT shooting was terrible and in the tournament he was knocking them down

The good news is them getting to the line 43 times but only making 24 of them (56%) is absolutely embarrassing. If they would have hit just 66% (still turrble) that would have been 4 more points and... a win in a meaningless exhibition game.

We can’t rely on getting to the line 40+ times a game because Big Ten. We need to hit at least 70% from the line. That’s nothing crazy and should be achievable. We also need the right players going to the line. That means Green, Phin, Al, and hopefully Hunter and Jackson-Davis being aggressive when we get to the bonus.

Yeah last year we were good for 13 out of 20 per game. That’s just a number that has to improve. It’s not going to be a main reason we win/lose regularly but it could cost us a couple of games.

FT's matter a whole lot more to teams that struggle to shoot from the perimeter I'd venture to guess. So I'd say yeah the low FT% for this team could matter quite a bit.

People trying to find take aways from this game and not mentioning that Jerome Hunter played real minutes and looked like he was BUSY.

4 TOs no good, but chalk it up to rust. Good shooting numbers, two steals, and did I mention the minutes?

Let’s go.

If he stays healthy and in game shape, he will be a MAJOR piece in this puzzle.

You get a walk on spot, you get a walk on spot, I get a walk on spot, we all get a walk on spot.


Just kidding obviously, as we have spaces to play with but the timing of these additions have been intriguing.

Our Shipp has come in? 

(sorry)

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,964]

Averaged 5 points as a senior guard from ArchBishop Moeller. Things that make ya go hmmm. Does his GPA count towards the teams GPA?

Might as well fill up the spots with practice bodies I suppose.

He related to somebody?  

[ap2345 7,571]

Same high school as Logan Duncomb. So wonder if he’s buddies with him or something.

You shouldn't really have to 'teach' free throw shooting by the time guys get to this level, more about the guys getting repetitions and working on it. 

They need to have a solid reason to not want to miss!

[goonaha 2,972]

Maybe they need more practice players and he tried out and coach is letting him walk on as a result. Probably something more nefarious going on here though judging by the takes of the usual suspects.

[barrettballer 513]

I have a friend who is a basketball manager and he says walk on spots are more about who you know opposed to talent or high school performance. Most are there to try and get coaching jobs at some point.
