Not bad tonight.  23-27 for 85.2%. Freaking Villanova was 17-18 for 94.4%, which isn't surprising since they lead the country in FT %.

A month ago there were some posters on here who were complaining about the team's foul shooting and said it would cost them games.  At that point in time they were about 70th in the country in FT percentage and I just didn't think it was a big issue.  Before tonight they were at [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][URL='https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/150/p2'][B]74.71% good for 55th in the countr[/B][/URL][URL='https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/150/p2'][B]y[/B][/URL][/COLOR].  After tonight they're at 75.69%, which would be about 35th in the country.  Not bad at all.

Again, I don't think free throws are an Achilles heel for this team.  There are enough guys on the team that shoot them well.  They may lose a game shooting less than 75%, but if they do lose there will probably be 5 other reasons before you get to free throw shooting.
