Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 5217691, member: 11599"] Yes, Paige has been on quite a tear lately from the free throw. Oddly enough, one of her buddies made a serious run at the Div 1 record for consecutive free throws made. When she entered the same year as Paige, Cameron Brink was average from the charity line. Not too bad for a 6'4 big. She improved until she made 73 in a row over two seasons. The Div 1 record is 75, set by Michelle Gaislerova of North Dakota State. The overall record is 118, set by Monica Burns of Div II Wheeling over a 24 game stretch. Kelsey Minato of Army set the record for most free throws made in a game without a miss in 2014, going 26 for 26 against Holy Cross. Kitija Laksa of South Florida set the season record in 2018 by going 111 for 115 for a 96.5%. Like oldude and Jami pointed out, Paige doesn't only do what she does so well, she protects the ball with her life - 1 TO in the Big East tourney. Apparently, awards are handed out, based on reputation and whoever the media anoints as deserving. However, a deeper dive into the numbers might have an illuminating effect. [/QUOTE]
