Porter is missing an awful lot of foul shots this year.
I’ll be happy with bigs who can finish layups at the basket

Missed shots in the paint is going to be Liberty’s story in this.

Yeah, when GCU has the ball in the paint it’s basically a guarantee they are gunna score.
When we have the ball in the paint it’s very iffy…and that’s a stretch.

Cleveland fouled, but again a missed layup that could’ve been an And-1. $1000 move, 10 cent finish

Rode with a CLUTCH offensive rebound. THAT is the guy he is. Great glue guy, always going to make the extra play. But go-to scorer? Eh.

Tough teams make FT’s and shots in the paint.

17 point first half lead.
9 point second half lead.
And we lose at home…good times.
3 game losing streak.

Kyle Rhode is just so hard to watch on offense. The worst athlete on the court, nearly every night.
He did lead the team in turnovers and missed shots though.

This team has some real weaknesses and no reliable big time scorer.

You’re right. My mistake.
1-3 over the last four.

The end of close games are unwatchable with the constant fouls. This is why I don't watch basketball much anymore. That was my only take away from that ending.

We are a good TEAM. But individually we are small, unathletic, and unimpressive.
It’ll get better. This isn’t the end of the world. We can and will play better than this. This is frustrating though.

For as good as Kyle has been his kryptonite continues to be layups and 2-3 foot jumpers.

We’re going to continue to struggle against bigger and athletic teams. We have no height at guard or athleticism.

I disagree. The recruiting philosophy has to change I think.
I’m not sure if your comment was sarcasm or not. I still think we are a good team. We have issues but we are still good.
