I concur, you just have to hope it plays out properly. That's always a crapshoot, but I agree that you have to try it that way.

Anyone else think K'Jei purposely missed that last ft?
Looked like he threw it at the rim hoping for a long rebound. Not his usual free throws form. Hitting it to go up 4 would have basically iced it

^ I don't think so, Floyd. He just short-armed it. I think it was a mixture of nerves (as you said, hitting that would have iced it), and tired legs. Frank had Banks purposely miss a FT at the end of the WMU game, but that was with less than a second on the clock. I think there was too much time to miss on purpose in the Toledo game.

Yeah, makes sense Juice, just seemed out of form for K'Jei who has been money from the line.

That miss dropped K’Jei from number one in the nation in FT% to number 4 currently.

Wow! K'Jei was the #1 free throw shooter in the country? That's awesome, good for him
