field free line offensive positive
When you're not making field goals, one positive thing you can do at the offensive end is get to the free-throw line and make free throws.

We won the game because we defended, our press helped us and we got to the foul line and made free throws. I think because we defended pretty good the whole game, we got to the foul line.
basically foul line match rotation

And I told Glen, 'Brandon's putting his name in the draft' -- and Glen had kind of suspected that already -- 'and now it's on you.' I said, 'You wanted to be the man -- now you are the man.'

We knew that if we were to win, we were going to have to hit some outside shots. But we never could get offense going from the outside. We were 0-for-6 from three-point range.
