How does any Division 1 team go 11% on free throws?!?

You did this with Flagg most of the year but now he's shooting well and Mitchell is the scapegoat. But you're right I'm sure we'll be so much better next year when two of our best players may be gone because their "crap is weighing us down".mazag08 said:
Mitchell lost us the game. He is an absolute embarrassment on defense. When Yeezy is even yelling at you for needlessly jumping off your man, it's time to sit your ass down. That was the single most pathetic defensive effort by a single player I've ever seen. We're going to be so much better next year without that kind of crap weighing us down.
And don't get me started on the lack of dribbling fundamentals and the lazy passes by the whole team. Pathetic.
Yeah a lot of that is true and I agree. We do need them to play well to win. I just don't like blaming one player for us losing the game. We shot 11% from the free throw line as a team.mazag08 said:Tavares19 said:Why are you always making these kind of posts where you call out a single player and just talk about how pathetic they were.

Because Flagg and Mitchell are guys we need to play smart, hustle, and shoot well to win. I don't get crazy mad if they shoot bad though.. as long as they are hustling and playing smart. But I do care when they play extremely lazy defense and have mental miscues most high schoolers wouldn't. Flagg shot very well today, but he had a bunch of absolutely idiotic turnovers. Mitchell didn't really do anything well today, and the effort on defense was not even close to what he's been giving the last 3-4 games. And it cost us big time.
Miller wasn't very good either today, which is why you saw Yeezy on the court, who played a really good game. Miller is young and just not experienced enough to make the right decision all the time. He'll learn. We don't have time for Flagg and Mitchell to learn. They are making fundamental mistakes, not scheme mistakes.
