You do know they called a common foul.

The discussion was about an intentional foul.

If we can turn up the pressure on D, keep being aggressive on O, we will win.

Having Cryer back for even 10 minutes is huge bc he is fearless from 3.

Only performances subpar tonight so far are Flag and KB. They are playing with too much hesitation. KB needs to decide to shoot the dang ball. Why he doesn't get more easy buckets in the paint is bc he is trying to get ALL THE WAY to the rim when he has a wide open pull up 6' shot. I'm just not sold on him being one and done. Doesn't pass the eye test.

Proud of Thamba. You can tell he is really trying to make up for JTT.

Akinjo sometimes just blows my mind. He will fake himself out as much as the defender! But as long as he is making shots I'll take it.

I'd like to think we have the hang power, but we're going to get killed at the line.

He's made some ticky tack fouls.

Is it just me or does Flag seem lethargic tonight? I wonder if the knee is giving him problems.

Pretty tough when you can't play defense without being called for a foul.

So, tell me again Brown is a lottery pick? He needs at least 1 more year, or more.

Supremely athletic? Absolutely.

Ready to contribute in the NBA?

No.

Akinjo making the fake and creating the lane to get it to Sochan… beautiful.

Not only has Tech gotten 21 FT's, they're also hitting them at an 81% clip. They are 69% on the season.
Johnny Bear

I like the way Flo is playing but leaving him in with three fouls right now is pretty risky.

Playing at elite high school level at best.

I think people agree with you on that he could use another year, but people believe that NBA will take a chance on him due to the perceived upside.

So we've score 3 points this half.

Your confusing experience with talent.

Late first round? Maybe. Lottery? Would you use that pick?
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ok, we don't get to the FT line frequently. Can't afford to miss both when we do.

Get rid of that zone.

We've scored 3 points in the first 5 minutes. Someone's gotta step up as a scorer here.
