All we had to do was shoot better than 33% from the free throw line to win. OR better than 29% from 3pt land.

It's weird to see a Kelsey era team shoot so bad. What gives? This game was very winnable, but we kept shooting ourselves in the foot.

I think the shooting will improve. A) both St. Mary's and ETSU were playing to take the 3 away at least initially and B) Looking at the stats, it's hard to imagine guys like Falden (who's slumped out of the gate) and a couple of the freshmen continuing to miss like they have from 3. Usually it takes a run of games for freshmen shooters to adjust to size and speed of the game---I think guys like Russ will definitely shoot better as time goes on.

Yea, I agree. Freshmen always go through an adjustment phase.

I have to say - It was refreshing to see Josh Corbin find his shot at Homecoming. Granted, our opponent was not much of a challenge, it's still important to see the ball going through the hoop to get your confidence back. Hopefully we start seeing him knock a few down each game. Honestly surprised he hasn't seen the court more, but I believe that was a defensive issue.

wualum: Well... close loss to upstate without Talford. suprising win on road against Gardner-Webb. Was very nervous is second half. First half was incredible, but you knew couldn't last. Feb 16, 2023 15:00:07 GMT -5

wualum: This team finds a way to lose games. Hightower didn't play most of second half and we should have won. Foul trouble is killing us. Maybe WU has to play more zone to avoid the fouls. Feb 7, 2023 13:42:22 GMT -5

punisher: Winthrop Baseball is in need for a change at the top, nothing personal but Tom is not a fit, and with 6 or 7 of the teams in the conference above 200 RPI, this woefully underperforming situation calls for a move in what is a poor conference. May 1, 2022 18:35:11 GMT -5
