This was the only pre-conference game that worried me. Big time quality opponent who whipped out ass last year. Great win but....gawt damn....please hit your free throws. Not even a game if you do.

I still think this team is finding an identity.
If jvon could get hot on the trey, we roll.

This was the first game that I watched whistle to whistle. Couple of things stood out to me.

Like snags said we get better at the charity stripe and this one isn't even close however free throws were neglected years ago in favor of the 3 point line. If we hit 70%, that will be consistent with everyone else who can't shoot them either.

We are quick and hustle. I don't recall seeing anyone lagging behind in transition from one end to the other. That can pay big dividends over the course of the year.

We seemed to be looking for shots better last night than what I have seen before.

I think we'll see a more consistent product when we aren't sitting on our asses for a week or two between games.

To keep winning despite the obvious team flaws, though, is a great sign.

I saw Samir Doughty and a couple others getting chippy with the NC State fellas. The confident, stand your ground type of chippy. I like it. I'm in full believe this years version of the Bruce Pearls have that nasty grind it out attitude. I'm certain there is motivation being carried over from last years Final 4. The free throws should get better. It seems this last two games has been somewhat of a funk at the line but I want to say the team as a whole were actually pretty decent so far this year.

FT% last night - 63.9%
FT% season - 63.4%

You would be wrong
