sac.....

I probably should have been more specific as to who needs free-throw practice, and this doesn't include last nights game.

25-71, 58-96, 9-21 is not very good for some of your key players, especially when they can get to the line more so than some others.

So the guy shooting 9-21 gets to the line once a game?  He's a key player? 

UW Superior 70  #16 UW Platteville 59

#9 UW Stevens 76 #2 UW Whitewater 47     OUCH!

Game Story and Boxscore link

I'm not sure what is more of a surprise, that Point beat Whitewater by that much or that Superior simply beat Platteville.

Great game at Point tonight with 2400+ there to see it.  It was a tight game throughout the first half with Whitewater taking a slim 30-29 lead into the break.  With the score 34-32 Whitewater, Point went on a ridiculous 23-2 run in about an 8-minute span.  Great hustle and defense along with Whitewater's poor shooting contributed to it.

With Platteville's loss, Oshkosh, Point and Whitewater all sit at 11-3 with two games to go.  Platteville sits a further game back.  This week's schedule includes Oshkosh at Whitewater and Point at Platteville.

To Pat Coleman and the D3Hoops team:

Nice to see the change to the daily scoreboard listing the top 25 teams as the first scores on the page. Good decision.

[Pat Coleman]

Yeah -- about time PrestoSports replicated something D3Scoreboard did for us almost all of last season.

I laugh to hide my tears....

In the oft-referenced UR/Plattsburgh game of last year, a look at the stats reveals that it was foul shooting that doomed UR, not a 40 foot jump shot.  While UR did not have a stellar shooting day overall, their 29.4% from 3 and 41.1% overall were better than Plattsburghs 25% and 37.3% respectively.  The difference was Plattsburgh was 12-14 from the line and UR only managed 9-15.  Repsectable but championship caliber.  It is obviously a weekness that teams can and do gameplan around.

Some players avoid the line like the plague. Kim Hughes played 490 minutes one season in the NBA and shot TWO free throws. One year, he started almost every game and shot just 69. And he was the center. So it happens!

The player in question averages 16 minutes a game. Not like he's just a garbage man.

[Rhodes Scholar]

I remember Kim Hughes. He was reluctant to shoot uncontested layups. Another player like that was Gerald Govan of the Utah Stars. Both of these guys could rebound and defend, but neither one had any offensive skills.

[Greek Tragedy]

The player in question averages 16 minutes a game. Not like he's just a garbage man.

That's fine, but it's not like the guy is going to the line 105 times and making only 45 of them! 

[Pat Coleman]

Pat and Dave, you're both right in principle, but having seen Emory play, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. I really don't mean any disrespect to Emory, but they simply are not a very good basketball game.

You ready to believe yet?
