that's what you take away from this game??? FT shooting?

****...if anything, our FT shooting in this game has been a bright spot compared to our other aspects...

And posts like this might speak to another "root problem"
lack of real fans

FT shooting is worst in the P5. By alot. That said, tonight wasn't bad. Should move up a little.

I was at an Elks youth free throw shooting contest last week , I would take most of those kids vs many of our guys

Not true. UCLA and Kansas State are worse than RU.

Ah there it is. It’s the fans fault Rutgers is terrible at MBB and FB.

What came first the chicken or the egg?

Pretty sure fans showed up when Schiano put a respectable product on the field. People donated and bought tickets.

I guess the jury is still out on this MBB coach? Even though it looks like the final record will be very similar to his first two years.

We're now .635 and ahead of UCLA (.620), and a hair behind Kansas St and Arkansas (.638).

The good news is that after a rough start in our first 6 games (58/104, .558) we've been better (121/178, .680)

btw...this is a trend the first 2 years also...we start really poorly and then trend (quite strongly) over the 2nd half of the year.

I want to say I saw something last year that for the 2nd half of the year we were one of the better FT shooting teams in the B1G.

while some will look at this negatively, I chalk this up to good coaching.

could be young players have nerves and we are young.....conditioning could be an issue too

This. Perspective. We started the year horribly. I'd bet Mathis was <50% our first 5 games.

FT is not talent - all technique and confidence.

Oddly - in years 1-2 in conference teams shot FTs incredibly well against us (again may have to do with confidence).

Over those same first 6 games, Mathis went 7/16 (.438) - and he has since gone 24/31 (.774)
