We certainly need to do better with this aspect

I don't put too much emphasis on offensive stats early on due to the kids getting to know each other and their positions, and the lower competition faced in these first three games. However, free throws are a different story since you are on your own with no defenders to influence your shot. 42% versus Colgate and 54% for the first three games definitely needs to improve. I'm hoping it will.

We had one guy go 0-6. The other guys were 8 for 13.

You could put that guy who hasn't missed a FT in decades on the team and he would be sub 70%. It's part of what Syracuse basketball is.

I believe there was some hype about how this "should" be a great free throw shooting team.
What is this curse that afflicts us? And from whence did it come? We should write a supernatural short story about this.
