It seemed Pardon was standing back almost a foot behind the FT line and he was generally short on his shots. What was up with that? Others had issues as well and our FT shooting really hurt

Announcers commented that we were one of the best free throw shooting teams in the country, but at one point we were like 3-7. For the game, we shot 13-23, which is only 56.5% compared to our season average of 71%. Just an ugly game overall for us. That Pardon airball on the free throw was... never mind, I flushed it already.

He's done that forever, and it doesn't work. Someone on the coaching staff needs to work with him. That's not the reason we lost the game though. We lost the game because B-Mac had 3 fouls in the first 10-12 minutes.

He's been doing that all season, and he usually shoots the ball too hard off the back rim. His shooting has regressed over the past two seasons whereas Alex Olah's shooting improved over his career.

And in the game against Rutgers, he was back at the line.
