Winners hit em chokers don't. Steel spines and ice in the veins there, boys. LOL! Good luck fixing THAT, Fran.
 


I have posted many times that our guys and other players on other teams just dont take their time eyeing the rim on the free throws,

My gawd , gesell rushed his like the ball was 2000 degrees, marble and woody just toss them up on a wing and a prayer,

take a few dribbles, relax, eye the bucket get your balance and be smooth.

Fran needs to have some major work on the free throws

They need some sessions with a sports psychologist. I'm dead serious.

I agree, but the really great free throw shooters dont rush it,

They have a good deliberate rhythm , that first one gesell missed prior to missing the last two , you could see he was off balance, he rushed it

I really luv watching gesell but that hurt

It's shocking that a shooting guard at that level doesn't have an unalterable ft routine. WTF

No sweat man. Marble and Gesell will hit some big FTs this year that will help the Hawkeyes win a lot of Big 10 games.

Right. No sweat. Except it really cost us in this game. That's a problem. This was a big game and we didn't close.

you jumping off the ledge too. i thought you were better than that. Thunder is just a hateful extension of Vintage, so i expect that.

Mike made some big FTs in games last year. how about Marble missing his? is it still Mike's fault for costing us the game?
 


BEEF

Balance.
Eye the spot on the rim you've always eyed on hundreds/ thousands of free throws in your playing career.
Elbow in.
Follow through.

Just as simple as that.

They're both choking goats.

uthoff doesn't take his time with free throws, and last time i checked he's a pretty decent free throw shooter. could be wrong though

Did you see the look in Gesell's eyes when he stepped up to the line? Scared to death. I thought maybe someone was coming at him with a knife. I told my wife that he'll be lucky to hit one of them.
 


Mike looked like a deer caught in headlights on those last two FTs. Not sure what's going with Dev; pretty reliable FT shooter earlier in the season. His stroke seems to have turned to **** the last few games.
