I am not sure how else I can explain it - I never said SLU will shoot 75% just that if they could it would take the heat off trying to improve the 3 point shooting. Cheeseman's mental processes are peculiar. It is true few people understand what he says, maybe he does not understand himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I am not sure I understand this 75% FT discussion.....But here are the stats.....we were 35th ITN in FTA.....22.5/gm....My contention is that the reason teams foul us more that we couldn't shoot FTs. If we did shoot 75% we would have about 3.2 pts more /gm .. The average team shoots about 19 FTA/gm. ....22.5 FTA -19FTA = 3.5 shots less /gm.. So the extra FTM/gm would be canceled out by the lesser amount of FTA. Bottom line..... FTs didn't cost us many points this year because we got extra chances.....Is this discussion similar to ......If grandma had wheels she would be a wagon?

Clocktoweraccords2004 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 If we didn’t make the tourney I would be more inclined to think Jacobs would leave but after the only reason he would is if he thinks Yuri would be placed above him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Ja Morant gained 15 pounds between his freshman and soph seasons. Let's see what Jacobs can do READ: I AM NOT SAYING HE IS ANYWHERE NEAR THE TALENT LEVEL OF JA MORANT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if by some miracle we shot near 70%, we're going to get to the line more than the average team. We attack the basket more than the average team. Over the next couple of years, because of our new personnel, we'll get even better at attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but if we're taking fewer free-throws, presumably we're getting additional FGAs, which should lead to more points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 With only 3 contributors from this year's team returning next year, the 19-20 team is basically a blank canvas with some Goodwin, Thatch and French already splashed in. Comparing statistics from this year to next will depend on whether those 3 can improve things like ft% (not holding by breath with French but Goodwin and Thatch should be better) and trying to figure out what all the other guys are going to shoot (look at high school and Juco stats for ft%).

You have a point that if we hit more FTs then they will foul us less - fair point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you so offended by getting someone else’s thoughts? I got my opinion from watching Collins, and actually listening to our Coach say he was one of the best high school point guards in the country. Again, IT’S A MESSAGE BOARD. Seems like there is a pervasive attitude by some, that only a select fews opinion are wanted. Keep it up, and you might get your wish. Guess its asking too much ask that respond to the appropriate person. Also guess that’s the new excuse: ITS A MESSAGE BOARD Good stuff!!

Of couse. Who is denying that? That Goodwin is so bad at PG that our team of sharpshooters are only missing their shots bc of his poor passes and his bad timing? And that once we get Yuri in at PG, our team’s problems go away? Again, we had plenty of wide open looks at the basket against V Tech - and we simply missed the shots. And not all missed by any one player. PG’s get you open shots but open shot misses are on the shooter - not the PG. Again, we made 4 of 23 attempts. Are you suggesting that Goodwin did such a poor job on the 19 missed shots. I dont recall that many last second heaves as the shot clock is expiring. And that had we had Yuri, we would have made a large percentage of these shots? Henry. I now see by your marking of my post with a troll that you have no point. Not surprised. But...

Outside of a few hack-a-has moments, how often did we really get fouled because we were poor FT shooters? Our team is aggressive and I’m wondering if they would be fouled that much regardless of our FT %age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
