If you think a team that just finished 5th of 362 teams in the country doesn’t practice free throws, I don’t know what to tell you.Ask Forbes.
Someone did and he basically said the bench is not his focus at all.
Like free throws.
Yep. And not to be harsh, but we have too many people on scholarship who add very, very little to the team. It’s not just 1-2 guys…we legitimately have 4-5 that could likely be replaced with better options in the portal.A lot of it was bad luck. But quality depth has to be a focal point this recruiting season.
Forbes literally said that he has never had a team practice free throws and he was dead serious.If you think a team that just finished 5th of 362 teams in the country doesn’t practice free throws, I don’t know what to tell you.
We don't. He tells them to shoot on their own.If you think a team that just finished 5th of 362 teams in the country doesn’t practice free throws, I don’t know what to tell you.
I don't know this Ituka guy and I am sure he is a great dude but I really never want to hear his name again. How much have we talked about someone that never saw the court?What is the deal with Ituka?
Lack of FT practice is the last thing we should worry about. We were the best FT shooting team I have ever seen at Wake.Forbes literally said that he has never had a team practice free throws and he was dead serious.
Hey I’m a New Yorker, grew up watching the NIT. Went often; in fact took WF04 to his first college BBall game when he was young at the NIT and saw Wake play. He was so enamored with the Deacs mascot he swore he was going to Wake to college and the rest is history. So enjoy the games, I’m meant no disrespect. I’m just not interested in seeing anymore Deac basketball games this year with a Team who should have been playing in the Big Dance.My wife and I will drive 2 hours each way to attend every home NIT game.
I mean it barely exists at all. It’s not hard to ignore.Fuck the NIT. I will pretend it doesnt exist as usual.
Can't argue with that. Unclutch sums it up.Lack of FT practice is the last thing we should worry about. We were the best FT shooting team I have ever seen at Wake.
The fact that we seemed unclutch at FTs has nothing to do with the lack of practice and everything to do with our mental weakness - we are pretty unclutch at everything...
Given everything that we are as a team this year, everything that we could see from Sallis as the year went on, everything that defines Wake sports institutionally - no, it wasn't weird at all.Weird that Sallis was missing FT, especially.
What was our FT% after timeouts. I would be stunned if it's much better than 50%. As good as we were from the line, and we were great, we seemed awful getting fouled right before media TOs.Lack of FT practice is the last thing we should worry about.

we’ve made the semis 4(!) times since Duncan left (2000, 2002, 2003, 2006). Pathetic.Again no Semi-Final Friday for the Deacs
I was curious about this for the season actually. Outside the @UVa game, what was the opponent FT% against Wake vs team FT% season average?Can't argue with that. Unclutch sums it up.
That said, in the ACCT, we shot 69.7% which would basically be last in the ACC, ahead of only putrid UVA, and our opponents shot 84.9% from the line. Weird that Sallis was missing FT, especially.
Not sure about versus what they do otherwise, but our opponents shot 74.8% from the line, which is the 33rd highest percentage against in the country. National average was 71.9%.I was curious about this for the season actually. Outside the @UVa game, what was the opponent FT% against Wake vs team FT% season average?
Hypothesis is that teams shot much better from the line vs Wake than they typically did elsewhere. 1H vs 2H would also be interesting.
The only way the opponent can affect that number is by being more selective in "must foul" situations.Not sure about versus what they do otherwise, but our opponents shot 74.8% from the line, which is the 33rd highest percentage against in the country. National average was 71.9%.
