I saw the same old Bob Marlin team last night. Ton of talent but way to many mistakes due to trying to play to fast and poor fundamentals. When will we have a team that can shoot free throws? That is the one thing that kills me the most. If you are good enough to play in college, you should be able to shoot 70+% free throws.

I saw a team play pretty well against a bigger, faster, more talented team. IMO the team was a little overwhelmed early in the game and was guilty of forced and unforced turnovers. The Canes were lights out on their threes. Seems we always have teams shoot great threes when we play them.

As many know I've held Marlin to a very high standard, and still do. Last night we played a team better than us in almost every area. It's mostly a talent gap plus match ups.

We're fine. We have a chance to be a 13 seed which gets us a 4 seed.

I am not sure how these refs call touch fouls, then a player gets hammered going to the rim and it is a no call.

Anyway great day to be working from home and watching some college hoops. It is the most wonderful time of the year.

Regarding free throws. We shot a high percentage in the two home games last week. Last night was a game in which there is pressure to make them. That requires increased focus and mental toughness. It is not an ability issue. I agree with Express in that our opponent last night was simply more talented than we. That does not mean we could not beat them on a neutral court. They would have to shot a normal percentage for that to occur however.

Dayton is a solid team every year

Not sure I like that news. Alabama will have extra motivation to play well on Friday.

What I am seeing is the blueprint to beating Alabama. Tendentious defense, playing the outside tough, their big man does not look good. We should be bigger and better down low.

5:43 left in the game, now a 30 point lead, Dayton 65 Alabama 35.

Alabama throwing up and I mean throwing up, a lot of air balls on 3 pt shots. So that means they probably should 75% against us.
