We're only 8 games into the season.
And the stat you quote (X make more free throws than the other team attempts) may be true for some years (2017-18 season) but is not true for most recent years (see for example, every season before 2017- 2018 going back to 2008-2009.)

Yea but it gets much more competitive soon. It's a legit concern. Just surprised that with the physicality of this roster, that we're not drawing more shooting fouls in the paint.

Redford shot 96% ft and 44.6% from 3 his last year. Maybe bring him in for a consult. So far we're shooting like the Storm Troopers.

Of course, doing it for the ENTIRE SEASON is definitely a rarity and a helluva accomplishment. Doubt that many teams have done that recently. I'm speaking of doing it at a very high clip on a game to game basis, which used to be a point of emphasis and expected before Steele. In fact, it's a stat that Byron has pointed to on a regular basis in the past.

Agreed. It was nice not having the endless parade to the charity stripe yesterday. Neither team got to the bonus in the first half. In the second half, we’re finally got to the bonus with 1:44 left in the game. They got to the bonus with 53 seconds left.
If anyone thinks this team doesn’t shoot a boatload of FTs at every practice, you’re clueless.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkGolf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

XU's offense is better than Virginia's offense but Virginia's defense is amazing. Hope X can get defenders like VA.
