Some interesting observations about Tyler's Polley's free throw shooting:
Polley is shooting a team-high 89% from the foul line, having made 26 of 29 attempts. This is pretty remarkable in and of itself, but I suppose it's not necessarily surprising considering Polley is in his fifth year and is our best pure shooter.
More surprising? Polley is third on our team in total FT attempts this year, behind only Cole and Gaffney. To be fair, Martin and Sanogo are slightly ahead of Polley in free throw attempts per game but being 3rd overall is still commendable.
In 11 games this year, Polley has already surpassed his total FT attempts from last year (29 this year through 11 games; 21 last year through 22 games). This is a huge leap. Polley has also tied his Junior year free throw total (29 attempts through 15 games).
The most insane Polley free throw stat? The only three free throws he's missed all year have been when he's been fouled shooting a three-pointer. Every single time he's had two foul shots, he's made both. He went 2-of-3 after being fouled on three-point shots vs Auburn, UMES, and WVU.
