Destroys Georgia Tech on the road. I know GT is not an ACC contender but they're not a collection of stiffs either.

Can't figure out Ball St. Watched them look like the team that can't shoot straight in losses to Evansville, W. Illinois and NKU. Then tonight at Ga. Tech, they played as well as any MAC team I've seen play this season. Very impressive freshmen backcourt of Bumbalough and Coleman. Still can't shoot straight from the foul line, however, going 5-of-11.

sounds like our women's team, and to a lesser extent our men's team. Probably would have won the TCU with better foul shooting.

I've said it before.

In my opinion there is no excuse for poor foul shooting.

Its the same on every court.

You can practice shooting foul shots on any basketball courts.

Yes,there can be distractions during games.

But,having confidence in your foul shooting proficiency has to help with distractions and pressure.

Agreed. Anyone who gets to D1 college hoops and beyond really ought to be able to shoot 60-65% or better. There should really never be an upper class college basketball player that shoots in the 50% range.
