Performances:
I don't entirely trust wins when we simply overpower a smaller team, usually measured in of exceedingly large proportions rebounding advantages--it is an advantage we will not have most of the rest of the year. And that was what happened today, where we collected 36 defensive rebounds to their 25, or a total of 54 rebounds to their 38. We held them to 23% shooting, while we shot 44%--should have been higher. Once again, our three point shooting was terrible, a horrific 16%, and our free throw shooting wound up at 38%. Those statistics will cost us games, perhaps beginning at Tennessee, if we don't straighten them out quickly.Â
What happened to our free throw shooting? The percentage is atrocious; I noticed that our free throw shooting the last couple of seasons have not been good. I am sure Tara is emphasizing that in practice, but it would be good to know why it seems to a team issue.
