Yep. I think we were just a bit unlucky with the shooting against us.The only way the opponent can affect that number is by being more selective in "must foul" situations.

Fans too.
So we need to work on our FT defense tooI 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.
Very underrated part of a good team…So we need to work on our FT defense too
Being strategic with respect to who you foul and when can help reduce the opponent FT make%.Very underrated part of a good team…
No jackass. Just anecdotally feels like another area where God hates WF.So we need to work on our FT defense too
Exactly. We are a very low-basketball-IQ team. Plays like our dipshit center fouling a good-shooting guard 20 feet from the basket as opposed to fouling a low-post goon enables the opposition to take better FTs. Same with the over-pursuit on the perimeter defense to "run them off the line". It generally keeps the ball in the hands of the other team's better shooters so when they get fouled they are more likely to make them. Just more examples of bad coaching.Being strategic with respect to who you foul and when can help reduce the opponent FT make%.
Two guys expected to be contributors were injured. One all season, the other most of it. Development of three newcomers (Clark, Canka, MMM) was below expectations. Friedrichsen was as expected as a shooter, and a pleasant surprise as a decent defender. Freshmen ranked outside top 75 don't often contribute a lot first year. There are reasons they aren't top 25.I don't think we purposely set out to have little to no bench talent.
today, any combination of making a few of the FTs we missed that we normally make, Parker making 1 or 2 of the 3 or 4 open 3s he had and usually makes, and Sallis playing more than like 8 minutes at the level we know he can - and we likely win the game.....
I believe marble mouth has already annointed the Holes as a 1 seedGo Pack...keep the Holes from getting a #1 seed!
Well, we can do like that Clemson player who was right beside our shooter and the entire process was yelling out defensive and offensive instructions right in our shooters ear, really wondered why that was allowed, and yes I am sure was intentionalSo we need to work on our FT defense too
And we now know marble mouth knows all…I believe marble mouth has already annointed the Holes as a 1 seed
Yes, unfortunatelyAnd we now know marble mouth knows all…
