Title: Why Not Practice FT and 3p Way More at Practice?
Post by: Beach Bum on November 10, 2023, 11:54:29 PM: SSIA.

Seems like more emphasis should be put on these aspects but what do I know, besides following this team long before many current followers and actually have watched Illinois play in sweet sixteens before.

Some of these guys look like junior high kids with their form. It's embarrassing for the program.
Dainja is worse this year. I am not even sure what hand he is actually using to shoot FTs.
Rodgers has not taken anything but a layup or line drive 4 foot floater in 2 years.

This team has zero pure shooters with great mechanics.
Goode and DGL are closest.

Pretty sure you weren't the only one here that was alive in 2005.

Many of us were around back then you think anyone under 40 is on this message board lolol. Speaking to the larger fan base.

Looks like we've been weightlifting a lot though so maybe that's good.

Not good enough since Harris is redshirting so he can work out.

Pissed? Punitive use of exercise?
