Title: Welcome to how poor free throw shooting loses tight games

Clearly we are done for if this continues. Close games are won and lost on the line

Up and down all year.  We shot 93% from the line against Georgetown.  Just doesn't make sense.

According to crean, they make 15 in a row in practice.  Maybe we should change venue of all the remaining home games to the AL :)

As bad as the FT shooting was, we still could have pulled out a W.  One of the biggest killers last night was missing that rebound after DePaul missed the second of two FTs near the end (when I think we were down 1).  DePaul immediately got back to the line, then going 2-2 putting us down 3.

After letting that game sink in for a while, I think that hurt the most.  IMO, the difference in deficit led to the poor shot selection at the end by DJ.
