the missed FT's in the 2nd half (and OT for that matter) have to be at the top of the list. We overcame 18 TO's to win at Penn State and were in line to do it today but some key misses down the stretch by Buie and Barnhizer really hurt. We led for almost the entirety of that game but still lost. Credit Buie for making the last two at regulation for sure, but some makes earlier in the last 4 minute stretch would've given us a bit more distance and helped with applying some extra scoreboard pressure. Barnhizer's miss inside the last minute of regulation to leave us up only 2 instead of 3 really, really hurt. Sure enough, Minny hits a 3 to take the lead. Hit your FT's and we win that game. Crazy that MN hit BOTH his FT's and we still ended up just 13-20.
I do not have confidence when either Barnhizer or Langborg go to the line. Both shoot very flat FT's that make it hard to go in unless it's a clean make. Buie is generally very solid with FT's down the stretch and actually Ty Berry is now automatic (which a good shooter should be). Berry didn't get to the line at all though so it was up to the others to shoot them and they didn't deliver.
