IU Free (COSTLY) Throws

[Whoozhers 3,647]

Recommend we start shooting granny style free throws like Ollie in the movie HOOSIERS .

What could it hurt?

What we’re doing now is Insane..... same thing over and over expecting different results. NO improvement.

 

GO HOOSIERS!

 

Do some damage in the B1G Tournament!

If you look at yesterday, just yesterday, we had 10 misses, 7 of them Juwan. 

I know he has a game in game out load to carry, but I don't think that little twitch of his shoulders just before his shot is doing him any favors.

I told my wife when he was shooting you could see he was trying to will the ball in and his eyes told a story of zero confidence. Wont be good that way. I was going to say Freddy had improved but that airball of all airballs leads me to believe any success he has at the line is pure luck lol

I was at least pumped about Rob hitting both huge free throws against OSU. Not sure I remember him ever being that guy

Here's a quick recap of FT for the season... overall, the Hoosiers made 401 of 618 free throws (64.9%). Season high percentage was 90% (9/10 v Wisconsin), and 81.8% (18/22 v Penn State). Season low percentage was 41.4% (12/29 v Howard) and 44.4 (8/18 v Rutgers).

Most attempts in a game this season was 33 v Indiana State and 29 three times.

Least number of attempts this season was 9 v Iowa and Nebraska.

The Hoosiers beat their season average (64.9%) 16 times.

^^^ I think those numbers are off... we shot better 17 times and worse 15 times for a total of 32 games. Unless you included exhibition games?

Free throw shooting woes are 100% on the player.  Cook Hall is available at all hours and if you stink from the line, you should want to do something about it and get to the practice court and practice, practice, practice.  If Art Garfunkle can be a dead-eye from 15 feet, so can a division I basketball player - if he wants to be.

I think we need to practice free throws after sprints.  That way they r worn out and simulate in game affect.

Also, here are the individual player stats for FTA/FTM... the numbers are off just a bit from the game stats above (401/618 v 398/615), so take it for what it's worth.

What I have gathered is that if the game is on the line, Newkirk is our clutch..

Who were the exhibition games? These were the schedule/scores from ESPN.com... and I pulled the FT stats from the box scores of each game... just reporting what they had.

We've played 30 games so I have no idea how we could be above average 17 times and below average 15 times. That's only possible if you add 2 exhibition games unless I'm missing something completely.

C'mon Priller 50%????

[JSHoosier 19,777]

Those FT numbers are almost painful to look at.  Some of our misses actually were painful to watch.

[AZ Hoosier 6,507]

Corrected my post on team FT stats... above the average 16 times... under the average 14 times. Sorry for the confusion.

5 more W's if we were a decent FT shooting team

So, I’m not the most astute thinker but based on your data, if I were the opposing coach and it came down to fouling ..... I’d say foul ANYBODY/EVERYBODY!
We don’t pose much of a mystery.... do we?

I definitely didn't do the legwork for this data. That would be an effective strategy. I believe someone accurately named it hack-a-Hoosier.

Anyone else notice we’ve only shot over 70% once in the last 14 games? Seemed like an odd balance. I don’t know whether to attribute it to bad shooting, bad focus, or tired legs from playing more intense defense. Maybe all 3.....

I always thought free throws was the first skill set of basketball?!? It truly cost us some Key wins.
