The image above was a familiar sight last night. That’s obviously not ideal, and, as you might imagine, John Calipari was not pleased, calling UK’s misses “demoralizing.”
“See, it is demoralizing when guys go up and miss four front-end one-and-ones in the first half and we miss 10 free throws,” Cal said. “Four of them front-end one-and-ones. That’s like missing 14 free throws. It is demoralizing. Now you can miss a couple, but you can’t miss them all and expect to be on that court. You just can’t. So, again, self-evaluate, I’m going to get to that line, I’m going to want to be at that line, I’m not going to shoot air balls from the foul line.
