actually they are not. we scored 15 more points on 3's than them.

it's the reason the game was that close and yet you and others think it's the reason why we lost.

if we had just shot average on the 19 free throws we took we would have won. even shooting 22 less free throws than them.

I only commented on the FT differentiation in a close game.  Never gave a "reason we lost", we lost because we scored less points than they did ...   get your facts straight whippersnapper

If we shot our season average from 3 point land we would have hit a couple less this game ... we can play if games forever and a day

the other stats you brought up are irrelevant to that "wondering"

here's a hypothetical.

say we shot 12 less 3's (15 less points)and went to the basket and was fouled every single time.

that would be 24 more free throws at 70% (our average) would be 16.8 points.

1.8 points more if a foul was called on every single possession instead of shooting those 12 3's

no you just wondered if them shooting 12 less 3's led to the free throw differential which led to the loss....

no I commented on us taking 20 less FTs to which you replied 22 and started talking about perspective etc.  That led to my "wondering" about the 12 less 3's etc.  Get your facts straight whippersnapper

another excuse respectfully

usf should consistently beat  teams like UAB in everything

You gotta start somewhere, and this is the most promising start to a coaching tenure that we’ve had in a long time - maybe ever, when the season is complete.

So essentially, not being able to adjust to the flow of the game hurt us in this case.   Interesting

Felt more like a lack of personnel than a failure to make an adjustment. We have zero depth inside. Pryor isn’t really a post player, Walker doesn’t have much twitch or athleticism, and Amir seemingly doesn’t trust the other transfers. We have to get bigger next year.
