Hello everyone! I know it has been a while since I last posted, so I'll simply update you on games that I've been watching as of late.
If there's something that I've definitely noticed, it's that free throws are crucial down the stretch. St. John's was giving Providence all they could handle, making quick bucket after quick bucket and extending the game. However, the Friars made all of their free throws at the end of the game and never let the Red Storm have the ball down one possession.
Yesterday, I was watching a bit of mid-major (or arguably low-major) ball between Oakland and Northern Kentucky. NKU carved out a leaved towards the end of the second half, but they missed the front end of a pair of crucial 1-and-1s, allowing the Golden Grizzlies to tie it up with a 3-point buzzer beater at the end of regulation. The Norse still ended up winning the contest, but it became abundantly clear that poor free throw shooting can cost a team a victory.
