Feed Luke early and often throughout 2nd half.
Agreed! We also need someone to get hot in the second half and go on a streak from the 3-point line. If we could get a decent lead inside of 3 minutes then just don't turn the ball over and hit free throws and we can win the game..

Feels like we're hurting ourselves more than they're hurting us.

Hall and Drone are pretty good. TX St plays good defense, too. They appear to suffer from poor FY shooting as well.
I bet Hall is playing in the PAC 12 next year. :lol:

4-10 FT shooting. We could have a comfortable lead.
I thought some folks said free throws are not important? LOL. People should go look at box scores of games that were less than 10 points and then see how the losing team did at the free throw line. It is amazing how many teams who shoot below 70 percent at the free throw line would have won if they could hit closer to 80+. Hope we don't lose this game by single digits and see that we missed 10+ free throws.
They matter, but other things matter more

How are we so bad at free throws? I just don't get it.

Gotta say we’re getting a kind whistle. I think some of these fouls they’ve called on Tx St’s ball pressure I’d be losing my mind if I was a fan of theirs. Let’s see if we can make it matter

Show me a quote of someone saying they aren't important. The only argument is whether we should sacrifice defense in recruiting and practice over free throws. We aren't Duke so we typically can't get both

Up 4, get the ball twice. Miss two wide open threes and turn it over. I’m sure that won’t come back to bite

The fouls on them tonight remind me of the fouls on us against Marshall and I was losing my mind.


Have to make a couple fts here and hang on!

Biggest game of the season and we’re just bricking 3’s without even trying to get the ball inside. This is hard to watch.

Dodd has been lackadaisical. Great player but just can’t do that

They’ve simply wanted it worse down the stretch

Great players don’t play like he’s playing in. Game of this magnitude
