Freeman and Sanders took most of the foul shots .

I have to admit, when I sat Freeman hit the first two, I called a win.

Yes, that early.

Making FTs has been the missing ingredient in most of our losses this year. Amazing how simple that really is...

So simple.

Similar free throw shooting and I think we win 4 more B1G games this year and might even be talked as a bubble team.

Yes, Freeman set the tone with his first two. Many times we missed the first few and I think it set a tone of other guys feeling extra pressure when they went to the line. Freeman was 6-6 and Corey was 5-5 yesterday and both had been struggling lately on the line.

So glad to continue to see Freeman and Sanders driving to the rim. It's so important to draw fouls, and again had it's effect in the end game. Interesting how suddenly,Sanders was able to get to the hole time and time again in the last 8 minutes.

Wait a minute so making a high percentage of free throws and winning close games has some sort of correlation? No no no thats all wrong most people on this board would have you believe we were just completely devoid of talent and we should fall to our knees and thank god for 3 BIG wins.

We shot 62% as a team from the line this year. Our opponents shot 72% against us. This is the easiest area to improve. Let's get to 72% as a team. Every single person on the roster should work their butts off to get that extra 10% of free throw makes.

The toughest area is replacing CJ. We need Doorson, Diallo, and Sa to put in work this off-season.

 

[Pritz99]

It would be more than nice if jut ONE of them stepped up. I'd like to hang my hat on big men taking time to develop. But Sa is already going into his senior year. He's still lost on defense AND is useless offensively.

Doorson doesn't look like he's ready to blossom, somehow think he's fast approaching his zenith. At least he stakes up space, can block some shots, rebound some, but adds nada to the offense.

Actually thought Diallo had the most potential, and he has shown flashes. But he's been on the bench all year with few meaningful minutes.

We're in big trouble with the #5 spot.
