Ok, maybe just surprise or entertain you... 1. Aubrey Griffin improved from a 60% free throw shooter to 72.7% last season. 2. Nika Muhl, the most aggressive player on the roster, took just 11 free throws last year. (Made 8 for 72.7%) 3. The player with the most free throw attempts was Olivia with 87. Paige had 84 tries. 4. Christyn went from 74.4% two years ago to 69% this past season. 5. Paige made 87% of her free throws (73-84). Next was Evina at 77.8% (35-45). 6. Saylor was the only player to make 100% of her charity tries (1-1). 7. As a team, UConn shot 71.4% from the line. Opponents shot 65.7%. (Free throw defense..?) UConn had 461 free throw attempts on 467 personal fouls by opponents. Opponents only tried 315 free throws on 391 fouls by the Huskies. Don't foul the shooter...!! Go Huskies..!!

Wow. Thanks so much, David!
Since Liv had the most free throws, I wonder what her shooting percentage was. And--I know you probably can't dig this up from tOSU, but wondering how Dorka compared. It might figure into playing time!

Unfortunately, Liv was 52-87 or 59.8%... Dorka was 30-70 or 42.9%... not good at all... BUT, she was recovering from Covid, I think... so I looked at stats for 2019-2020 and not much better... 50-94 or 53.2%... but she was 40% from 3 point range... (40-101)...

Certainly no advantage there for either. In competitive games, it will pay to foul either, I suppose.

And I felt, deeply, every one of the 40.2 percent she missed.

Especially since many of the misses were within a few feet of the basket.

Well, free throw shooting CAN improve, if the work is put in and consistency develops. Or not...
