Are Free Throws really that hard to make?

[Jayshellberg]

If there is a single poster on this board that could shoot 70% in similar conditions I would be shocked

Hell, I couldn’t make half of my layups, which I am not ashamed to admit.

Anecdotal but here's a 73% free throw shooter. About average for a center I think but wasn't bad either.

Best all time are guards though, just need BRE to be Shaq in all other ways too

What channel number IS LHN is on Directv? Might be helpful for those wanting to do bar call aheads.

If you guys love free throw shooting percentages so much, I know a team out east that may fulfill your free throw fantasies.

Trade off: a team of grown ass men who defend and have toughness or a team of goofy A players who don't play defense but can make free throws.

Well that is what you get when you don't practice defense in your practices.

Is getting a date with Ana de Armas or Miranda Kerr really that hard to do?

 

[BACyclone]

If they wanted to make free throws even more difficult, they could just have our bigs try shoot wide open layups

This reminds me how many times I used to scream at Loren Meyer JUST DUNK THE BALL as he was the absolute king of missing 1-foot bunny shots.

She did date this guy for a while...

So just commit some historical level of financial fraud and sneak away to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty and you're probably golden if VS models are your thing!

That's it. I'm sorry, but I'm just going to come right out and say it:

I don't think I much care for this "longhorn network" business. In fact, I'm starting to think texas doesn't really care about the other Big 12 schools at all!

Ask Phil Forte how easy it is in front of a sold out Hitlon with the game on the line.

Coaches might want to reconsider the analytics. Driving the protected lane probably gets ISU the same expected points as shooting a 3. SWAG probabilities of driving: made shot 35% , +1 5%, turnover/blocked shot 20%, ORB 5%, foul 35% . Maybe adding fouls to the defenders gives another plus.

Another turnover at the ft line

 

[Erik4Cy]

CuJo sure made them look easy tonight.

 

[Cyched]

10-13 from the FT line tonight. Better.

I shot 80% in a Big 12 game in Hilton in front of a capacity croud.

But then you totally melted down in the game against texas.

Nah it was against Texas, Royce Whites first Big 12 game. I was 4 of 5 at the free throw line on the try for 5 so 80% under pressure in front of a full Hilton. Way better than Royce's percentage that game.

I guess I was confused. That isn't you in your avatar? I remember you totally melting down in the Texas game.

Free throws were easy Sat

Just eye test c jones, king, Gilbert and Milan at least seem reliable lately. That’s probably 4 of the 6 guys who might need to make late.
