The OFFICIAL DARE WE ASK FOR A ROAD WIN? vs. BU Game Thread

[ShockerFever]

Why worry about a last second 3 that had no bearing on the game??????

To me, we should be worrying how Bradley's defense crippled our offense, and how they did not seemed prepared for it. Or why HCGM didn't make changes in the Offense to pentrate Bradley's defense, that's part of bench coaching. Or our crappy shooting percentage. I would like to see shooting percentages for the Shockers for the last 5 years, so we could compare this year to 4 prior years. (Regular and 3 point).

And we have to be the worst free throw shooting team in the conference.
I believe most teams aim for 75% or better, and we are at 62%, pretty poor.

There are plenty of things to worry about than some late game throwup for a 3.

Yes, we have plenty to worry about with our team. No doubt.

But it's also basic sports etiquette 101. Win with class.

I can't believe we're still talking about this game; it's behind us there is nothing more we can do about it. Ya, it's unsportsmanlike: get over it.

I'm not the one bumping it up. I'm trying to finish it off. The excuses from some people perplex me.

This wasn't directed towards you Fever it's for the people that keep questioning if that was sportsmanlike by the Bradley player and supposedly GM.

Free Throws Made v Opponents FT Attempted:

08-09 217-361
07-08 407-563
06-07 419-537
05-06 507-527
04-05 533-653
03-04 499-649

Brief analysis: We were a terrible shooting team last year and while a little better this year, there is no excuse for the poor FT shooting this year. We really D'd it up in 03-04. An extra 5% in FT shooting is probably the difference between 9-11 and 11-9.
