Play to this strength

Steve Shields already has commented on how he wants the team to focus more on getting to the basket instead of settling so much for jump shots. If you look at our stats, that is very smart. We were second in the league last year behind Georgia State in free throw shooting at 73.8%. If you shoot well, then you shoot more. You cannot shoot more FTs unless you are aggressive on offense, and we have the guys to be aggressive this year, whether through strength or quickness, or just good basketball smarts. We averaged 2.6 points/game less than our opponents last season. Three extra FTs per game would close that gap.
