I listened to some of Duke's exhibition game last night and Redick has requested that the Cameron Crazies make noise when he shoots free throws. It's really weird, but makes sense because it will be more like a normal college atmosphere. He claims he shoots much better when there is noise so all of the Cameron Crazies clap when Redick is at the line...he was 5-5 from the line with 13 minutes left in the first half...that's as far as I listened.

Pretty interesting though...

like it really matters

an explosion could go off behind the backboard and he'd stilll make a free throw

11/5/2005 12:34:21 AM

I never thought about it before, but from what I recall, it does seem like he misses the majority of his free throws at home. He missed 2 against Michigan State last year I think...thats really wierd. Oh well, whatever gets the douche bag going.


....i was gonna say lets make sure there isnt a sound in RBC this year when they come, but guess what...they dont. fucking expansion

Holy shit, how funny would that be if it worked, ACC expansion all for money and mainly for football. Ruined a perfect basketball conference.

this is old news


he said this on the interview where he was reading poems

so lets be quiet when he comes around to town

and its two D's in his name

11/5/2005 3:26:44 AM

^no its not, its redick

11/5/2005 3:51:16 AM

That's a cocky SOB, but goddamn I'd love for him to give NCSU a clinic on shooting freethrows. Seems like everyone forgets how important that part of the game is. He's $ from the line.

11/5/2005 1:30:32 PM

uh the year before last State was the #1 FT shooting team in the nation

we don't need a clinic from reddick

11/5/2005 1:33:21 PM

yeah but we did drop about 10% last year

11/5/2005 1:35:48 PM

yeah thanks to hodge

11/5/2005 1:38:18 PM

and Ced

11/5/2005 1:39:35 PM

I know that we've been great in the past, but damn I'd be great to bump it up a notch. A team shooting 80+% is hard to beat in the final minutes.

11/5/2005 1:46:09 PM

no team shoots 80%+ from the free throw line

ever

11/5/2005 1:50:17 PM

IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF WE SHOT 100%

11/5/2005 1:53:50 PM

MIKE VICK SHOOTS 200% FROM THE STRIPE

AND DITKA IS SHOOTING 43534%

11/5/2005 1:54:37 PM

yeah we hovered around 80% for most of 2003-04


i think that's a slightly skewed number though, given that we don't exactly have a penchant for getting to the line 30 times a night

11/5/2005 2:42:55 PM

we are shooting 82% from the line....cant say NO team EVER shoots that
remember when WF went that whole game and didnt miss a FT?

11/5/2005 2:45:45 PM

it was like over 30 freethrows right?

that was crazy

11/5/2005 2:48:25 PM

^against unc

11/5/2005 2:48:41 PM

Dude, we set NCAA records in '03-04 by shooting ~74% from the line.


No college team shoots over 80% on the season. Ever.

11/5/2005 2:50:30 PM

Make it 75% then. Hell, make it 70%. My only point(s) were that Reddick is a hell of free throw shooter and I'd love for the team to shoot a better%. Pipe dream I know, but what the hell. Herb's usually got the team on point with FT% though.

11/5/2005 2:53:08 PM

if Ev can draw some fouls and get to the line - and I think he can - we'll be in pretty good shape

11/5/2005 3:09:00 PM

Ev looks to be a hell of alot faster. Get him to drive to the hoop from the top of the key against a big man and he'll be seeing lots of free throws.

Now if Grant and Fells can get to the line and hit a high % we'll be in it. If Grant could finish better he'd be Hodge 2.0 (yeah - I'm optimistic right now. )
