Message: [QUOTE="bantamlaker, post: 5180968, member: 8773"] [SIZE=5]It’s been pointed out, especially in the chat room, that our team doesn’t seem to be getting the calls and isn’t shooting many free throws. I thought I’d check some stats. UConn ranks 350 of 353 D1 teams in free throws attempted averaging just 9.9 per game. The #1 team averages 26.82 per game. Some other top teams (Texas, Souhern Cal and LSU) average over 20 per game. What about our two stars? Paige has 52 attempts in 19 games and Sarah 43 in 21 games. The #1 player in the country has 201, almost as many as the entire UConn team. Juju has 150, Aneesah Morrow 107 and Hannah Hidalgo 102 (17 games). Even Hailey VanLith has 102. The 150th ranked player has 83 attempts. So what’s going on? Is it our style of play without players attacking the hoop? Is it just a coincidence or could it be a conspiracy against UConn or awful refs in the Big East? Maybe Geno needs to get angry and be held back by CD like in the old days when Paige gets mauled on the way to the hoop and there’s no call. Any thoughts on this and do you think it might be a problem in the big games coming up?[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
