Lord, these threads are getting as bad as the football threads.
App basically dominated the first half. Southern came out on fire to start the second half, App took Southern’s hardest punch straight to the face and didn’t even fall down. Won by 10 and it wasn’t close for the last 7-ish minutes of the game. All of that with 2/5 starters missing significant time due to foul trouble.
Also, for the folks still panicking over free throws, we are running out of “games down the road” that we will lose due to missed free throws.
Count me in as one “panicking”, it’s our Achilles Heel right now. And we have already lost 2 games this year due in large part to poor FT shooting. Lost in OT to Oregon St (58%) and a 4pt loss to Troy (61%). Even avg FT shooting and we have 2 more wins. I am actually surprised teams don’t just foul Abson and X once in the 1 and 1. Good to see X go 3-4 tonight despite one banking in. I love this team, I hope it’s not the reason we loose a chance at the dance.
