Choking at the free throw line

Mensa_Club_2 · November 21st, 2005, 09:05 PM

Cost West Virginia an upset of Texas. They should have won, but blew it at the line not once, not twice, but three times. I thought West Virginia looked like a team with a very good chance of making the Final Four for the first 39 minutes of this game. But free throws are a key part of most championship teams, so now I'm not so sure.

Whats crazy is that tattoo'd dude is like 85% for his career at the line too. However, they looked good, very good. I wouldn't say this really hurts them, but rather may give them more confidence. They showed themselves and everyone else they can play with the big boys.

They also said last night that the tattoo'd guy (sorry, forgot his name) almost went into the NBA draft last season? Good move to stay in school... he's good, but clearly not NBA ready yet.

I can't think of the guy's name either, but yes, it was a learning experience for WV. In a typical year I wouldn't even bother to watch a game between West Virginia and Texas, but with West Virginia's recent success it was a must-see for me.

Yes Kentucky is just a horrible team. Any team that loses to Kentucky has no shot of going to the final four.
