[B]One under-reported, and perhaps under-debated, stat from Megan Walker's freshman season is her free throw shooting[/B].  Overall, she went 37-49 for an accuracy rate of 75.5%. On the surface, not bad, but hardly remarkable. However, consider the 49 trips to the line. Gabby only had 69 tries, in almost twice the minutes. Crystal had 31 attempts in more than twice the minutes.

[B]So, Megan was fouled fairly often, even more often, per minute, than Katie Lou and Napheesa[/B], the most frequently fouled player. (Free throw attempts per minute on the court. KLS = .089, Pheesa = .096 and MMW =.098) :D

[B]So what?  Well, given that Megan made her free throws at a 75% clip, being fouled often is a huge benefit for UConn. [/B]Maybe, at double the minutes this season[B],[/B] she will take double the free throws. Maybe more than double. Something to watch for... :cool:

[B]The bottom line is Megan is a physically talented, explosive offensive player. [/B]Those types of players are hard to guard and get fouled a lot. That will be good for Megan and good for Uconn. :)

Go Huskies..!!
