Biorhythms for U of L @UNC: 7 pm Start

Way back when……

In 1977 or 1976 or 1975, the GREAT Walter “Sweet D” Davis was in a shooting slump.

Coach Guthridge suggested that Walter stay after practice until he made 77 jumpers (or 75 or 76, depending on the year).

I suggest that each member of the team stay and make 26 FT’s above-and-beyond any FT shooting drill planned.

26 in a row?

It's in their head. Does anyone seriously not think this is a topic? Hopefully percentages balance somewhat.

As others have already said, great win over a legit Top 20/25 opponent. 22-6 certainly ain't bad either given that our best player is still out and possibly our second-best or most important player has also missed several games recently. Hopefully we can build on this game moving forward (and yeah, definitely practice more on free throws).

It’s in some players’ heads. A Matt Doherty or Pat Sullivan in a critical moment at the FT line. In their heads.

James Worthy in 1982 after Georgetown’s Fred Brown threw him the ball? James missed two FT’s. James was a mediocre FT shooter (65.2% college career; 67.4% in ‘82

Our best player is out.

Our 2nd best player was out.

Our best guard and 3rd best player was out for 6 weeks.

Crazy stat: we are 5-1 when playing against ranked teams this year.

Very big win. Showed really good fight.

These guys need to be visualizing made FTs in their waking moments and their sleeping ones.

It’s a Zen thing.
Be the ball.
Visualization.
See the ball go through the net.
Just before releasing the shot, Visualize the ball going through the net.

Definitely a mental thing.
Like throwing strikes as a pitcher.
See the ball popping right in the middle of that catchers mitt… before you start your wind up.

It works

Lots of Pisces around here …

Mine's a couple of days before the coming Duke game.

My son’s 21st(!) birthday is the Monday between that game and the ACCT, which also happens to be my husband’s and my 35th wedding anniversary.

I don't remember being that young. Our 50th is in May and my oldest grandson is closer to 21 than any of my kids. My baby turned 40 in November. He's the youngest by 7 years.

Might be time to give Dr. Fieldstone a call.
