Dana Altman bemoans free throw shooting vs. Washington State

Following Oregon‘s 62-56 loss to Washington State on Saturday, men’s basketball head coach Dana Altman had plenty to be upset with with his team’s performance. However, arguably the biggest letdown on the night for the Ducks was their free throw shooting.

Following Oregon’s home loss to Washington State, Altman addressed his team’s poor performance from the charity stripe.

“Yeah, the free throws, in a tight game like that, when you’re not shooting the ball; we went eight for 14 or two front ends you go eight for 16, that kills ya,” said Altman. “They didn’t shoot them great, 15 of 22, but they got the big rebound on the one they missed late. So we didn’t give ourselves an opportunity, made a lot of mistakes, and just simply didn’t get it done.”

Oregon was credited with finishing the night going 8-14 from the charity stripe. However, as Altman pointed out, two of their misses came on one-and-one opportunities, essentially making those two 0-2 trips to the free-throw line.

The loss drops Oregon down to 16-8 on the season and 8-5 in conference play. The Ducks still have a strong chance of qualifying for this year’s NCAA men’s championship tournament in March. However, if they want to cement their spot in the tournament, they can ill afford nights in which they shoot essentially 50 percent from the free throw line, especially in their home arena.

Former Oregon star Bol Bol re-selling designer clothes online

Former Oregon star Bol Bol has left fans shaking their heads over the years about what he can do in the open floor on a basketball court. The 7-foot-3 center can simply do some things on the court than many seven footers cannot. He’s bounced around to a number of teams in his NBA career thus far.

He’s only logging 8.9 minutes per game this year with the Phoenix Suns and it appears the Sudanese star might be getting his feet wet in a side hustle to earn some extra cash on the side. Bol Bol is re-selling his designer clothes online.

He’s re-selling the items in an online marketplace called Grailed–the personal platform for personal style. For a link to his website and the different type clothes he’s re-selling, you can find that here.

One quick glance at the clothes he’s selling and you’ll realize they aren’t cheap. One pair of the chrome hearts pants will set you back a cool $18,000.

He deserves plenty of credit for taking the initiative to resell his old clothes. And clearly there are plenty of people that want them. He’s already had 53 transactions so far. Not only that, he’s got 11 five-star reviews, which is always a good sign. And he’s marked as a speedy shipper. Double bonus.

Imagine getting your designer clothes in the mail and realize they were worn by Bol Bol?

He doesn’t have that many items in his store. But hey, it’s a smart move by Bol Bol to turn his old clothes into some extra cash. Not only that, who knows, this might be the start of his second career after basketball.
