Offline So we're both terrible at the stripe so far? No, it means that both teams do not get to the FT line very often. Offline Betting line added above; Dukes 1 point underdogs. Offline U8 TO in 1st, Dukes 26, Radford 21. Been all Lewis (10) and Big Mike (8). Offline Carry has 3 TOs this half. Offline U4, Dukes 29-26. DU has 5 TOs this half. Offline Too many sloppy turnovers and missed layups. Could be up by ten here. Offline Carry has 3 TOs this half. Wade, 3 TOs and 2 fouls. Poor point guard play won't cut it. Offline Radford up 36-34 at the half. Wasn't a great half for us outside of Mike Lewis (12) and Michael Hughes (8). Our 3 PGs have combined for 7 TOs. Eric Williams Jr. is 1-7 from the field. Maybe let someone else shoot in the second half. Offline U16 2nd half down 3, 41-38. Offline U12 down 45-44. Offline Anybody else trying to listen to both football and basketball games at the same time with statcasts on both? Offline U8 down 53-52. EWJr starting to come alive. Williams and Weathers now with 8 and 8 each. Carry has 5 TOs and is not looking to shoot. Offline 55-53 Dukes, <6 to play. Offline Big problem: Under 60% FTs, 38% shooting, but 38% from 3 (would be better, but Lewis 1-7). Offline Nail biting time! Offline U4, Duquesne leads 60-53. Lewis 15, Big Mike 10, Williams/Weathers/F. Hughes with 8 each. Ray and Jarret think Carry may have an injured wing. Offline Up 63-57 with 2:23 to go. Carry has 6 TOs, having come down to earth after his impressive 2-game debut. Offline 66-61 Dukes with 34 secs. Offline Radford came down to earth also, which allowed the Dukes to hang in there while playing sub-par basketball. Offline 69-64 Dukes. Another terrible game. Should have beaten this team by 20! Offline Hurrah for the undefeated Red and Blue! Offline Ray & Jarrett saying S. Carry was playing hurt. Something about a shoulder issue. Offline Great win considering we were far from our best today. Point guard play was lacking, but the guys hung in there and played great defense.

Teams that get to the foul line more and don’t send their opponents to the FT line have a higher likelihood of winning.
BTW. Radford is shooting 75.0% from the FT line, 64th in the country. The Dukes not so good; 62.2% - 271 in the country. Small sample size though. •Thread Starter
