In the first four gezegde

 In the first four of five games we only made about 52 percent of our free throws. Our kids have responded by shooting 78 percent since then. Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world. Right now, we're shooting about 67 percent.

 We played a bad game (against Providence) but do you know with four minutes to go we're down seven and they're shooting 60 percent and we're shooting in the 30s? That tells you if we shoot 60 percent we're up 20 points. That's what I had to tell our kids -- we're not that far off. But we can't afford to go and have a half like that ever.

 We gave up 60-percent shooting in the last game and that can't happen continually if we're going to get wins. Today, to give up 33 percent to a pretty good offensive team that's shooting 46 percent is a credit to our guys and their commitment to that end of the floor.

 We've got to work on our foul shots. I told the kids we need to be about 70 percent from the line and we are still shooting 50 percent. That can hurt you in games like this.

 The amazing thing is shooting 455 free throws at that percentage. That is the tough part. You could see shooting 77 percent in 120 maybe, but to do that in 455 attempts is amazing.

 That's an aberration. In our last game against Washington Academy we made about 67 percent, but before that we were 54 percent as a team, so we've spent a lot of time in practice shooting foul shots for the last couple of games.

 In scouting George Mason, they had been shooting 33 percent on their 3-pointers all year and as much as 42 percent. We knew we had to control their perimeter shooting. I thought we did a great job of shutting them down and keeping them off-balance.

 I don't know if we ran out of gas or they just decided to get after it harder there at the end. We're a 70 percent free throw shooting team that must have shot 50 percent tonight.

 Free throws have been killing us. We just shooting over 50 percent from the free throw line.

 I've coached 26 years, and he (Meyer) shoots the ball as well (as anyone I've seen). We do shoot the ball fairly well. We're shooting free throws at like 85 percent. It wasn't like a fluke shooting 3s. We had to (shoot well) tonight to win the game.

 We've got to make some free throws. We've shot ourselves in the foot time and time again at the foul line. We're getting 30 free throws per game. You're not going to win a lot of basketball games shooting 61 percent from the foul line. We've got to shoot it better in every phase.

 We work on our free throws every day. I don't know, I guess free-throw shooting is boring. But I have read every book, watched every tape, and we still shoot 50 percent. I think maybe we'll stop for awhile.

 It doesn't take a Rhodes scholar, ... if a guy is shooting 41 percent and a guy is shooting 53 percent, who the best shooter in the country is. If he played in the East, he'd be first-team all-America. He'd be the number one two-guard in the country.

 Young teams sometimes just need time to learn how to win. It's a process and the frustrating thing is that it's been something different doing us in every game. Our foul shooting's been 54 percent in the five losses so that's been one constant but we've lost three of them by 4 points or less. It's hard enough to win and you lose the close games when you can't do things like make free throws.

 Leon is really a highly competitive person. When he was struggling shooting free throws earlier in the year, he was getting up at 5 in the morning and going to a gym near his home and shooting free throws. Then he came up with a couple of 10-for-10 games, 10-for-12, 12-for-15. I think that's a testimony to who he is.
