Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 2049622, member: 7597"] In 2014 I think they led the nation in FT and even went a few games in March without even missing. What is going on this year? Freethrows absolutely make the difference between an average team on the cusp/NIT and a team that can win a few in the tourney. I think it is a huge HUGE difference that can NOT be overstated and in fact is often under stated. In Uconns case, I bet with some improved FT shooting Uconn could have easily been +4 in the win column, for real. Instead of 13-12 they could very well be 17-8 (including that Northeastern game) and be on the fringe for the bubble. They needs to have some freethrow drills. Everyone on the teams goes at least 9 for 10 or better or you do 5 suicides. Something like that. For each one missed in the game, during practice the next day.....whatever. But they need to get better with this. [/QUOTE]
