If we can come out determined and focused the next week or so we could finish the season with a winning record and salvage the year from how we played down the stretch. So far in SEC play, we are 3-8 in close games where made freethrows here, less turnovers there, and hitting a couple of extra wide open three point shots would have turned that 3-8 record into 8-3. We aren't as far off as some think we are. Adding players like Nick Weatherspoon, Brooks, and finally getting Ado eligible along with what we return should get us at least to 20 wins next season and I'd be satisfied with that.
We have to figure out what is causing the HUGE disparity in free throws when we lose. In our losses, most of the time there is a 20 free throw advantage for the other team. That is 10 points just shooting 50% from the line. We are either getting screwed by the refs or we aren't driving and feeding the post where other teams are because they know the refs will call it.
