55 seconds left Orangefield up by two. I think Orangefield better start shooting some freethrows in practice. The freethrow shooting is horrible.

And take away from talking about plays in practice?  :o  I don't know why you'd suggest such a thing!  ::)

No way I could watch that game in person. It was hard enough listening to it on the radio. I must of heard 100 times, "another missed shot". Not going to win many games against good teams if you cannot make freethrows Orangefield was 20 of 39 from the line.

I call it the lost art of basketball. Ever notice in warmups how many actually even shoot free throws. But that 3 line is a busy place.  Very frustrating. Orangefield isnt the only team Ive watched this year that has a terrible time with free throws. Its not coaching its the players taking time on their own to practice them..........Check out how many close games are lost by 2 and three pts. and a team misses 10 to 12 free throws. Like I said a lost art. ::)

Coach T is rolling over in his grave. He knew freethrows were key. So did Ancelot.

At one point in the season I thought they were hitting on all cylinders. Yes, I agree they are regressing instead of progressing but I think the girls are part of the blame not all.
