58% Foul Shooting Team Overall

Yup and of course not including the last few minutes when we had to foul we were still outshot at the line by a wide margin even though the foul calls were very even last night
 
In a close grind it out battle, every possession matters. A few plays that stick out to me:
-Geo’s bonehead foul on Davidson on a 3pt attempt (sinks all 3)
-Fouling Trice with 2 seconds on the shot clock (sinks both)
- JY missing two front end and 1’s
That’s the difference in the game right there.

Now it's 57%. The rest of the Big Ten is between 78% and 66%. Our best FT shooter with more than six attempts is 74% (PM). The top six FT shooting teams in the Big Ten are better than our best FT shooter.
 
It is not just missed foul shots , it is the failure to draw fouls by driving hard to the hole. Geo and Ron had 0 foul shot attempts last night. That should be almost impossible . Ron has to stop being lazy hanging on the perimeter and get on the block and offensive rebound and he will get to the line. Geo has to start using the ball screens and continue driving to the hoop.
