Message: [QUOTE="ToolzieFan, post: 3867808, member: 7018"] Look, I'm feeling good about today's win and even better about the rest of the season, including the Big East Tournament and NCAA Tournament. I think we were hurt by questionable calls today. Still, I think we foul a little too much. This team has the potential to reach the Sweet 16, and I'd hate to see us lose a game because a key player commits a dumb foul. Overall, our defense is awesome, though. I can't really complain. That being said, I went to KenPom.com and looked up our historical FTA/FGA rate. It's not a perfect measure, but ratio of free throw attempts to field goal attempts (shown as a percent) seems like a great way to compare. The national rank is useful because it takes into account changes in the way the games are called. I'm not focused on our relative struggles of late. I just wanted us all to remember how elite our best teams with Calhoun were. Our ability to defend without sending teams to the line was truly outstanding.
