There are plenty of shortcomings regarding Wyoming men’s basketball.
Rebounding, turnovers, defense, effort come to the forefront.
Coach Heath Schroyer hopes free-throw shooting doesn’t get added to the list.
The Cowboys have been among the nation’s leaders in free throws attempted and made this season, and were last season as well. Getting to the line and making them is a big part of their game.
In UW’s 62-59 loss at TCU Tuesday it was just 15 of 24 from the line. That’s nine points left out there, but potentially as many as 13 as the Cowboys missed front ends to two one-and-one situations.
“We have to make free throws. That’s a pet peeve of mine when we miss them,” Schroyer said. “We have to concentrate and make free throws. Especially in this league because we don’t have a great margin of error.”
The Cowboys (8-8, 1-2) enter Saturday’s game with New Mexico (15-3, 1-2) shooting 73.1 percent from the line. That’s decent but it can be better.
For more of Schroyer’s concerns about Saturday’s game, and specifically about New Mexico, see Friday’s paper.
