I don't disagree with you, but for the record .... ODU hit 20 of 21 foul shots over the past two games (UAB & WKU), and for all three games they hit 31 of 39. They brought it from the free throw line in Frisco much better than they typically do.

Another interesting tidbit is that unless Caver was substituted for in the game today - and I don't believe he was - he played all 40 minutes in each of the three games of the tournament.

Interesting. Hadn't realized that hey had shot that well from the line. There was a point, I think 1:30 left when ODU was up 5, where I realized that both Carver and Robinson were on the floor. WKU had I think 6 team fouls at that point, so I kind of assumed Stansbury would start fouling the guys who shoot sub-50% from the stripe. But I guess different coaches have different strategies.
