Does it make me a terrible person that this might be my favorite stat? Just because I know how much the boogers hate it?

nope

jokes aside, it’s the scariest thing to me for our long term hopes... JVon isn’t going to close out games like Jared - we’ll need Samir and Danjel... or, we can just curbstomp teams and not worry about late game free throws

I’ve had the same thoughts about closing out games. Especially come SEC/NCAA tourney time.
 
I think the free throw percentage will get better throughout the year. Everyone shooting below their avg right now I believe

Love when we just run people to the point of not giving AF about FTs. I’m sure it’s the focus of deep analysis on places of boog across the Internet.

Think we had a new/ slippery ball situation last night only explanation for some bizarre misses. I’ve seen Samir, Danjel, Jvon, Mac either make them at a high clip or in the clutch. Plus when you offensive rebound like we do it’s not as simple as we missed X FTs so we left X pts out there.

Obviously should be better but not too worried. Not much you can do about it rather be doing all the real bball stuff right and be able to say we really need to work on our FTs, breakaway lobs and open gym 3 balls with some fugged up slippery beef jerky logo on it.
 
The terrible game from New Mexico's stud just reminded of Bruce's quote a couple weeks ago:


didn’t see much of Richmond but they’ve got 3 guys avg 17-18 ppg... 2 are small guards - 5’9” and 6’0” so I’d really love to see Sir Isaac pick up Tiny Tim on a switch just to see if he can stay in front of him... he’ll probably be matched up with the 6’4” 230 lb’er so - sucks to be that dude... hope he’s not attached to that 18.2 avg because it’s about to crater
 
Moving onto the Spiders gonna be quite an adjustment going from the preschool carpool circle that is playing Wisconsin to Talladega with land mines and broken beer bottles.

Nick Sherod their 6’4 230 wing avg 18/4. Can pretty much put him to bed about to get Isaaced. Wouldn’t be surprised if he came down with the flu today.

Backcourt extremely undersized. Some 6’10 255 neckbeard at C expect Austin to feast.

They do shoot 45% from 3 2nd best in the country. Suspect that’s an early season statistical anomaly. Boogs in a bludgeoning.

yeah - those 3 guards are all shooting their balls off so far this year... as a team they were only 9/28 against Vandy and 6/17 last night against a bunch of chalky farm boys though

they were 15/30 against CSUN (Sherod was 7/9) - we were 17/35 for comparison

they’re good - not saying otherwise... shooting travels if you can get clean looks... but they’re gonna have to make tougher shots than they’ve ever had to make in their lives tonight - for 40 minutes

I’ll take my chances with Sir Isaac, JVon, and Samir... and the frontcourt matchup is gonna be a bloodbath
