The free-throw shooting bothers me the most. I spoke with Cam over the summer and it was the first thing he brought up. I didn't even bring that part of his game up and last season, he shot 70% from the line. This year, it's around 62%. His entire game is about getting to the basket and drawing fouls if he can't make the shots. He's not even making easy shots in the lane. Not talking about tough hook shot. Short 5-7 foot jumpers that he needed to hit in the lane against their zone. We are desperate for a Gibson return in more ways than one, but I think we'll be playing without him for another week or longer.
Only positive was our three-point defense (7 of 26), but then we gave up about 50 layups in the first half. Still, allowing 42% from the field and 27% from beyond the arc on the road is not that bad. You should win with that but it looked as though some of guards (esp. Conway) never saw a pressure defense in their lives.
