Importance of free throws

[KrazyVolFan]

Some of those were the front end of 1&1s which could have been even more points we didn't get a chance to score.

I don't think the ladies do 1 and 1.

We went and got players in the portal and must have known most of them did not have a great record for shooting free throws. Spearman actually doing better than Miami. Spencer always had trouble there. Holingshead already here not very good. Latham couldn't make a high percentage at Syracuse. Whitehorn has always been good from the line. Cooper started the season making them missed three out of 7 yesterday. That certainly hurt, but not as much as her six turnovers. Boyd hasn't shown a lot of skill at the line average at best. Darby never gets fouled. Spear is really good doesn't get there a lot.

Reason next season looks so much better is all the players coming in are deadly free throw shooters. All five are 80 percent or better. LSU is usually terrible and yesterday made 20 of 22.

We can harp on free throws and whatnot... that's not the reason we didn't beat LSU! The reason Tennessee gets beat is because they can't defend small shifty guards, they can't create for themselves offensively, and Tennessee doesn't have a NATURAL POINT GUARD who can make their surroundings better!

They are a year AWAY from being the best in the country.

Right. They adapted FIBA rules a decade ago. Four fouls per period; two free throws on every team foul over four; team fouls accrue from the fourth period on, as all overtimes are extensions of it.

Said it before ... Spencer needs to take a dribble or two instead of launching as soon as the refs toss her the ball.

They apparently shoot 2 after the fifth foul of each quarter. So I guess I understated the problem of unnecessary fouls.

LSU went 20 for 22 and we went 13 for 20. The other games most of them anyway teams got to the line way more than we did and ended up making more even if they missed a few.

Lady Vols lost Sunday didn't shoot great
Missed too many free throws ...
They were playing 5 on 8.....if u count
Peck and her wingman 5 on 10
My TV muted after 5 minutes.....

This is a yes and a no. On a miss free throw did we get the rebound and kick it out for a made three or get a two point shot or maybe a made basket and a plus one. With every change comes a change to the game afterwards. So there is no way of knowing if making a shot leads to more or less points.

This!!

While making FT's is very important, you can't just add those misses to our score.

Every once in awhile these things can occur on missed free throws. But most of the time missing free throws are not conducive to winning .
