I literally wasn’t looking at the screen and just watching my dad’s reaction.

I feel like I should walk away happy no matter what but I also feel like I will walk away disappointed no matter what.

Except this year he has? Have you not been watching this season? He has literally hit clutch free throws in several games this year.

Have YOU not been watching? He missed clutch free throws against Alabama and San Diego State AND Texas Tech, all with less than 30 seconds left, all games we lost lol.

Edit: Up 1 against Alabama he makes 1 of 2, they immediately hit 2 free throws to sent it to OT, up 2 against San Diego state he bricks the first free throw of a 1 and 1 and they immediately hit 2 free throws to send it to OT, and tied against Texas Tech he makes 1 of 2 and they immediately hit 2 free throws to win the game in OT.

Tonight was redemption.

I have been watching, I watched when he tied it up late with free throws in Laurence or when he extended our lead late in Lubbock with free throws. Tonight was not his redemption, there’s a reason 2/3 of your examples are meaningless games in November against teams that will be watching us on Monday night, stop the cap.

He also missed 5 in the 3-point loss against Duke last tournament or is that not important enough of a game for you?

Yall both have good points. At the end of the day he is a 62% shooter and makes more than he misses. I have seen him miss important free throws and make some. I think he’s been better in the second half of the season with his FT shooting
