4) What the heck happened to our free throw shooting?  Is it an elevation thing?  Betts could have won it at the end of the the first overtime, and we were a paltry 13/22 after shooting quite well in the last couple of months.  Again, the game is not that close and a lot shorter if we shot our free throws better.

As stated above, all misses were after 4 quarters of play at altitude.  I expect arm weariness played a part.  At the end of 4Q, we were a perfect 5 of 5 (and note that Colorado was 13 of 16 at that point).  [I presume you're not complaining about 100% being uncharacteristic.]  In OT, we were 8 of 17 while Colorado was 8 of 12.

It is also who took free throws in OT:  Iriafen (64% for season) 0/2;  Belibi (55%)  0/2; Betts (60%) 4/5;  Jones (75%) 7/11 in OT, 9/13 in game.

The FT% was down somewhat but not more than I would expect given the conditions.

(Btw., Missy thought about calling a technical on Jones but she swallowed that impulse. It would have been iffy.)
