    I'm more concerned about the poor free throw shooting the last two games...
    Free throw shooting is a serious monkey on our back right now. What the heck happened??!
    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

      I wonder if Tuttle has a wrist injury. His release isn't as crisp and he doesn't seem to have the same hand strength right now.

        Based on the stats from last year, everyone is shooting pretty close to the same % from the free throw line (Tuttle is down 5%, Deon is up 1%).

        I've actually been surprised with Wes' %. As a team, I just don't see us improving a whole lot.

        I can't account for missing what seems like 10 straight front end of one-in-ones...

          AJ was a decent FT shooter but Sonnen and Koch were basically automatic. I just didn't figure they essentially kept that Top 10 % afloat on their own.

            Jake turned into an average free throw shooter last year, and yes Marc was automatic but hardly got there because he shot so many 3's.

              Jake was 4th in the MVC at 80.3% last year - not really average. However, I agree with many here that we need to get a handle on the free throw thing - totally correctable.
              Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
              Victory for U-N-I!

              Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.
