[NU Sports] More bad basketball

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

That doesn't explain why the shooting stunk and why NU is at the bottom with regard to rebounding and when they get fouled their free throw shooting stinks as well.  What it tells me is that Carmody doesn't do a very y good job of teaching how to shoot free throws.  It is also obvious that most of the players won't take a charge.  I saw Scott do an "Ole'"  when an opponent came right at him.
