But at some point Harris has to improve upon a 22% fg percentage ............ doesn't he? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t football. And while losing is painful, it doesn’t mean we should expect, or have a chance at all, to win the next game on the schedule regardless of whether it’s Houston or St.Leo. it’s tough, but we’ll survive. but does the coach?

Didn't hear if we had injuries or not. Only change to starters was switching in Hines for Miguel, getting equal minutes. Both seemed to respond, especially Selton.

Want to hear something funny? The announcer after the game said…. The Bulls need to be better at the charity stripe. Said, had we made 80 % we win! Now that’s funny **** right there! Once again a Brian Gregory team that can’t win from the free throw line. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again a Brian Gregory team that can’t win from the free throw line. Brilliant! Funny, I guess, but inaccurate. They would have had to shoot 88% from the stripe to win that game, Auburn shot 62%. Second, they are CBG's players so he is ultimately responsible but, imo, free throw shooting is all on the players. If I recall correctly, the Muma is open 24/7 to them. They've got enough to work on in practice than to spend too much time on something that requires 0 teamwork. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t recall a single outside shot made in the second half. Maybe it happened but I don’t think so. I think 100% of our second half points were from the paint or free throw line. They made several threes and took away our transition game. You can’t win close games that way. You have to be able to shoot. Both teams were horrendous from the free throw line. That wasn’t the issue. We just don’t recruit shooters. We recruit athletes that are more slashers. I do like the new point guard. I wouldn’t have taken him out of the game for a minute. He has great vision but either needs to learn to shoot better or dish more. However he’s going to be solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players change, poor free throw shooting doesn't. Might want to spend a few minutes at practice on half court offense while they are at it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alley oops were nice, but 2-12 shooting, 0-5 from 3 and only 3 assists leaves a lot to be desired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
