Free Throws

[WhichReligionIsRight]

May not have been the ultimate difference maker, but RU shot 87.5% from the charity stripe today while NU missed the front end of three straight one-and-ones in the second half.

I think the real difference today was rebounds - RU won that measure 44-31.

yeah with that performance we may now only be the 4th worst foul shooting team in Division 1

14-16 FTs. Made the difference, shoot our normal pec and it’s like a 4 point game late

We were behind in fouls whole 2nd half. At least Myles wasn’t. League is still a blatant joke.

Hitting the free throws made a big difference

Helps compensate for 4-19 from 3.

Take a day off.

The last 5 games we shot about 69% from the line and our average for season is about 61% . let's say 60% of 16 shots is 10 of 16 we win by 10 not 4

We were up 9 before NW started fouling in comeback time. So miss those 4 FTs its a 5 point game. 5 point game is “like” a 4 point game as I said

Great Defense,Rebounding and FT shooting wins a lot of games.

This turned out IMO to be a big deal. Kopp is one of the top FT shooters in the league and he missed the front end of a 1 and 1, as did Nance and Bouie. Those three misses were after NW shot 7-7 for the charity stripe. On all three of their misses, I believe we went down and scored and that pretty much for me was the turning point in shutting this game down in our favor.

Wow! Brilliant response! Lol! Last place team in the league on the road had a significant foul advantage in the 2nd half against the 25th ranked team in the country. As others have noted, thankfully NW didn’t hit front end of one and ones or game could have been very different. What game were you watching? Truth hurts. Word of advice, don’t get all in a twist.

Agreed. Their misses were big.

Crybaby stuff. We were not losing that game no matter how it played out. Rutgers’ fandom is loaded with crepe hangers. Enjoy the game, don’t dissect it.

Fans like conversations regarding the game. No personal attacks are necessary. Think officiating is a major factor in every game. Fair for discussion. If you don’t like it ignore it. No personal attacks are necessary. “Give it a rest”, “Crybaby stuff”, etc., add nothing to the conversation and not very adult. I’m not even going to try to decipher “crepe hangers”?
