  • free throws

    you would think with the new rules and all the fouls being called, we would see better free throw shooting. everyone should be able to shoot 65% and i believe that is low and am being generous. very disturbing trend today.

    I used to love getting to the line.Easiest points you can ever get.Late in the game I didn't want anyone to have the ball but me.Garbage points and I took them!!

    Seems like it is getting worse and worse!!

    Kentucky was horrible,they shot 56% as a team.

      I'm a 52 year old out of shape ex-athlete that can still hit 70% free throws when I go play hoops. Basketball is about dunking and talking trash in this era, mainly why I can't stand watching the NBA and all the bullshit trash talking.

          This.
          Same here. I was a chubby kid and could hit 7 out of 10
          My neighbors son is the first kid I seen in years practicing jumpers and free throws.
          Like JJ said it's all shit talking and show boating now

            i too am over 50 and can hit 70%. i take my 13 year old to the park and we always start out with free throws. He seems to get it because of all the bitching i do when watching basketball on tv. I always tell him they are FREE throws, meaning take the free points they are giving you.

            Its getting tougher and tougher to beat him one on one but he still has no chance in a game of horse

              Its definitely part of handicapping games this year IMO, at least more than in the past. A lot more fouls being called. Can help bad offensive teams with low totals push games over the total. On the flipside this could throw some up tempo teams out of sync and keep some higher posted totals under the number. Im definitely playing the wait and see game before playing totals. Actually sides as well as I have only played one college game so far this year
