Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4203664, member: 833"] I am just not a fan of Javon Freeman-Liberty. He got smoked on defense for Butler to take the lead 69-67. I won't hold the crazy 3 pointer against JFL because that was pure luck, but if he had played better defense Depaul would be down 1 instead of down 3. Freeman Liberty is not a star, and he thinks he is. Depaul played great without him, and will end up losing to Butler at home. It is dumb to make a second FT down by 2 or 3 with under 6 seconds left. There is not enough time to foul, have the other team shoot free throws, and get the ball down court to get a shot off. A coach should always direct his player to miss the second FT on purpose in that situation. It is a low percentage play, which is better than a no percentage play. [/QUOTE]
