79% from the FT line today

Definitely a big improvement from USCe. Still had some 1-and-1 front end misses in the first half, but hopefully we keep shooting FTs like this.

Victor is my dawg.

His improvement has been remarkable.

In his first 9 games he was 27/58 or 46.6%. In his last 8 games he is 26/32 or 81.3%.

He and Simmons were both 8/9 today.

Yea, I can't believe Victor's improvement at the line. He actually looks comfortable up there and I feel confident when he steps up to the line. He went 1-10 his first ten FTS this season

Victor is solid from the line. He's been great since his garbage first game.

Does anyone have our home vs road FT percentage?

Quite surprisingly, 66.5% at home and 66.8% on the road.

However, considering we've played well at home and many of the FTs are intentional fouls in the waning minutes against some of our poorer FT shooters, I guess it isn't that surprising.

Wow

If this team can do this consistently, especially at the end of games, they definitely have a long tournament run in them.

I really wish college would adopt more NBA rules and do away with the 1 and 1s.

Since Jones took a lot of crap and blame from several posters for the team's poor FT shooting vs SC, should I expect those same posters to come here and heap lavish praise on him for the good shooting today?

How long should I wait?

1 and 1 is the dumbest rule in college basketball. Each free throw is an independent trial, how can more emphasis be placed on the first free throw? It would be like not having a second down unless you gained 5 yards on your first down.
