I didn't have a lot of hope that we could win this game. I just wanted to be able to play ball with them. Alabama is very good outside of not being able to hit our free throws. I'm really proud of the way they played the first half.Gonna need to hit those to stay in this one.
Missed free throws...again.
This is 2 decades and 4 coaches where many seasons MSU was terrible from the line.
We were 18 for 36.
Tolu was 3 for 15.
A college starter should make more FTs blindfolded.
Why doesn't <coach> make them practice fts? Can we still blame Howland?Gonna need to hit those to stay in this one.
They said during the broadcast that Tolu shoots free throws for hours after practice.There is no jansplanation possible as to why we did not bother to recruit any offense, and still have not bothered to work on free throws. We will end up sub .500 with our inability on the offensive end. The first half was close because bama wasn't hitting, not because we are awesome.
It’s completely in Tolu’s head. He was a pretty decent free throw shooter last season for a big man. All of a sudden he shoots them worse than Shaq. He’s got to get rid of the mental block somehow and just shooting free throws after practice won’t do it.They said during the broadcast that Tolu shoots free throws for hours after practice.

I think it's still Stansbury's fault. The older one, not Lil Stans.Why doesn't <coach> make them practice fts? Can we still blame Howland?
Actually, 3 deacdes going 4 and 7 coaches. I rarely remember us being money from the charity stripe except for an occasional outlying season.Missed free throws...again.

There is such a thing as getting a player and a team too hyped up before a game. Tolu was a bundle of nerves last night
I would like to see hime be more assertive / aggressive in the paint. I feel like his play is somehow constarined / restrained -- not quite sure how to describe it.There is such a thing as getting a player and a team too hyped up before a game. Tolu was a bundle of nerves last night
For this team to have any real success this year, we badly need Tolu to be our reliable cornerstone, but man… 1-7 from the field, 3-15 from FT, and 3 TOsThere is such a thing as getting a player and a team too hyped up before a game. Tolu was a bundle of nerves last night
It’s pretty hard to be aggressive and assertive when you’re getting double teamed. He needs his teammates to make some shots to take the pressure off of him.I would like to see hime be more assertive / aggressive in the paint.

Someone get Rick Barry on the line.It’s completely in Tolu’s head. He was a pretty decent free throw shooter last season for a big man. All of a sudden he shoots them worse than Shaq. He’s got to get rid of the mental block somehow and just shooting free throws after practice won’t do it.
Practice makes perfect.....unless you're practicing wrong.They said during the broadcast that Tolu shoots free throws for hours after practice.
