I’m so sick of this team’s embarrassing free throw shooting

[UCDaveD]

No excuse to be this pathetic from the line.

 

[HeGotGame]

Layups and free throw shooting are the easiest things but some how our biggest issues

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

This was a Kevin Ollie era bad loss.

 

[kansashusky]

I’m embarrassed

 

[Kitaman]

Gaffney is a good free throw shooter, should be playing at very end of close games.

Layups are most likely contested but free throws aren’t....zero excuse for that

 

[Salty Dog]

PG play is a huge weakness. Coaching is a weakness. Need both to improve if we want to go far in March.

 

[rollskies]

I can’t remember a more embarrassing loss in the Hurley era. Being ranked was fun while it lasted

You have a short memory then

In whose place? Bad handle for a ballhandler.

Name one game where there were expectations this high and we lost to the bottom of the conference team? We finally got ranked and blew it. This one is up there in my book

Hurley's call there, but it's situational.

Let's not get crazy. He's in over his head at this point.

Gaffney hasn't been good enough to be on the floor for consistent minutes. He fell down and turned the ball over then immediately tackled the ball handler and Hurley rightly pulled him for good.

it's 2015/16 all over again without Bouk

New UConn transfer rule: If you want to transfer to UConn as a guard, you have have to take 20 free throws under pressure for your scholarship. Make at least 15 of them, you get the scholarship offer. Don't make 15, you don't get an offer

 

[Palatine]

Cole missed two of four and Martin missed three of four down the stretch. We lost by four.

 

[BigTenFan]

Miss your last two free throws then heave a 3 pointer with 7 seconds left- brutal way to finish a game

I hear you but I want him available for free throws at the end when needed.

The 2004 team was terrible at free throw shooting. Like one of the 5 or 10 worst teams in the country at it. But, they were good enough to overcome that, and they hit them when they counted.

 

[Huskybass]

65% from the line at home. Free throw shooting is a major reason for both losses.

The 2004 team beat everyone by 100 points. It didn't even matter if they were bad at FT's

How can you even compare them? 2nd and 3rd pick in the draft, Sr PG, Charlie and Josh, Williams. Would anyone except Bouk even play on that squad? This team doesn't have the luxury of missing FT

 

[UCDaveD]

The 2014 team was nails from the line in big spots. It’s a huge reason we won that championship.

 

[NJHusky]

All they should do until the next game is shoot FT's

This isn't even the most frustrating/embarrassing loss of the season

 

[rollskies]

I understand that Hurley is a defensive minded coach but at some point the offense NEEDS to be addressed

If we are ahead yes. Behind....not sure about that.

 

[rollskies]

You think it’s more embarrassing that we lost to 8th ranked creighton in overtime rather than losing to one of the worst teams in the conference when we are ranked 23rd? Okay, to each his own I guess

 

[XLCenterFan]

We should not have lost this one, but we should not have won at MQ. Let's call it a wash.
