Message: [QUOTE="Ewekon, post: 1960659, member: 785"] There really is only one viable statistic that can be equally measured across men's and women's college basketball teams. Free throw percentage. (You can't stat effort). The women are hitting 78% from the line. The men? Number 321 at just under 63%. Quick math shows if we did as the women do we would have 35 more points scored this season. I didn't run through game by game but that's a lot of points considering it could have made the difference with Auburn, Ohio State and Northeastern. There are 40 men's teams hitting at 75% or better. Fundamentals count. Practice launching 3s, but how about everybody try and raise their % by 5 to 10% from the line? Put the work in. [/QUOTE]
