Why are we so bad at free throws?

Especially Iverson, why can't our coaches just make them shoot 25 or 50 free throws after each practice? maybe they'll learn

We actually are pretty average. 67.2 vs 68.4 national average.

I always think you should be above 70% free throws, but then again, Shaq has practiced free throws for how many years and still sucks so idk, head game...it's usually contagious

Because we want the games to be close???

Even Westbrook, who is usually golden from the stripe, is strugglin this year. BTW, after the Iowa game, I think Westy should spend every game day at the gym shooting buckets for 8 hours before the game.

Purdue wasnt that great at shooting free throws.

Purdue wasnt that great at shooting free throws.

75% is way above the average in division 1, and just above our season average (74.4%, nat'l rank 23).
