Move your feet, stop reaching?

I think it just means we have sent a lot of teams to the line who have shot it incredibly versus us this year.

Yeah, I think it is mostly some combination of the schedule and luck. Still, if anyone with seats behind the basket has any of those giant spinning wheels it couldn't hurt.
 
I posted the same thing a couple of weeks ago. It's even weirder actually... We've been "bad" at defending free throws for like five out of six years.
 
Coach Les had the guys working on FT defense today. I am sure we'll do much better in tonight's game.

:)
 
Play more physical. Tire guys out. Not sure we have the personnel to do that this year, and not really sure it's absolutely required to win ball games. But if I could think of a way to change that, playing more physical basketball would be the way. Of all the things to have a beef with regarding this year's team, this is probably at the bottom of the list.
 
Maybe we should put the tall guys at the top of the lane & have them reach their arms high into the middle - NAH!
 
Here's what it is.........it's because we clearly have played the best & most quality opponents...BY FAR!
Maybe if we were playing the patsies ISU is playing, they'd probably miss more FT's

Valley teams' Strength of Schedule
Bradley...........................13
Creighton........................70
Indiana State...................71
UNI................................79
Missouri State................140
Drake............................145
Wichita State.................163
Evansville.......................201
SIU ..............................236
ISU (last as expected)......237

one other stat....on free throw offense......
in Valley play, only six players who shoot at least 4 FT attempts per game, are shooting over 76%..
Here they are......

Andrew Warren 30-32 .938
Taylor Brown 31-35 .886
Adam Koch 32-37 .865
Harry Marshall 35 -41 .854
Sam Maniscalco 31-37 .838
Jermaine Mallett 28-34, .824

3 of them are on our team!!

We've played by far the best and most quality opponents in the nation? Really? OK...whatever...

We are last in the NATION...#347...in FT defense...not in the MVC...in the NATION.

That strength of schedule of 13th, is that in the nation?
IF so, then I could see a possible ranking dead last in free throw percentage defense. I mean if that's a national ranking, then only 12 teams in the NATION have played a tougher schedule. Obviously if that's the case then only 12 teams in the NATION can say they have played better comp than BU.
