This is the type of post you make when you don’t have a point to make. So the officials decided to put our bigs on the line instead of our guards? OK. LOL. I guess they should have swallowed their whistles when Ware and Oscar were clearly fouled and instead waited to see if our guards got fouled at some point. This is one of the dumbest takes i’ve seen yet. The player that gets fouled goes to the line. Period. Make some of them. By the way, Mintz and Grady missed as well. And no, I’m not saying you have to hit them all. But you can’t shoot 50% from the line and win many close games.

Just because you lack the intellect to understand the nuances of basketball doesn’t make me the dumb one.

Adios.

LOL. Sure thing. You’d better fire off a memo to all SEC officials telling them to call more fouls to put our guards at the line and to stop calling fouls when our bigs are fouled. Cause you know, the officials control who goes to the line rather than the actual play. LOL. I noticed all you did was go to the insults rather actually respond to what I said. Typical of someone that knows his comments are asinine.

Missing free throws don't really matter............if you still win the game.

Missing free throws against good teams will get you beat 90% of the time, especially come tournament time.

Shooting 50% from the line isunacceptable for a scholarship player and ridiculous for their coach to not get it fixed. It is fixable.
Disagree a little...once you get to college it's difficult to do unless a a player takes it upin himself. Example

1). Players at this level should already be at a minimum pretty decent FT shooters (should being the key word).
2). All of them should absolutely work on FTs on their own as well as other parts of their game. Common sense. If they don’t they’ll be left behind and it’s their own fault.

Not enough that’s for sure.

Just seems like any time we lose and we have legit issues (like injuries) it alway get labeled as excuses.
We obviously can’t control the injuries and they were obviously the biggest impact in regards to losing. But that doesn’t excuse 50% from the line. That I cannot excuse and if we shoot our normal percentage we probably still win. That’s all I’m saying.

Fair enough. I agree. Some nights you just have bad execution at the line. I hope it doesn’t become the norm. We will see. I mean someone even said Oscar was shaking at the line a bit. That dude ain’t afraid of nobody. I think he just cares a lot about the team and the fans and the pressure got to him. Happens. Hopefully going forward he’s able to relax and just flow.

Cal has a large enough staff teaching free throw shooting and shooting repetition should be required for every player on the team.

By the way, practicing shooting free throws when you do not have the proper shooting form does nothing to improve your ft %.

All you are doing is shooting more ft the wrong way.

That is what a shooting coach should be working on with this team. What are we paying Brad for???

Isn't he supposed to be the greatest practice shooter of all time according to Cal????

Do some d coaching.

When Ware bricked one off the backward without touching the rim I had to rewind it to be sure I wasn’t seeing things.
I looked away for a second and saw the end of that and I was like “Nah….couldn’t be.”

Woof. I don’t know who taught that kid to shoot FTs but dang. How do you even begin to fix that. I’m not a basketball player and buddy, I don’t shoot them like THAT.
