Free Throw Shooting

[ZachTheZip]

The Zips are shooting under 60% as a team so far this season. That's good for 337th in the nation.It lost us the game against Austin Peay. It's going to be much more of a factor once MAC play begins and we're constantly . This is the biggest weakness of the team, and it's something that needs to be fixed.

I get flushbacks to the '06-'07 team every time I watch this team step to the line. Free throw shooting is certainly a problem for this team. Unfortunatly the bi-product of being an interior oriented team is that your big guys have the ball in their hands more often, and your big guys are more often than not the guys who are your worst foul shooters. When they get fouled, it is always an adventure.

If Shaq can fix his free throw, there's no reason our big guys can't haha

McNees is actually third on the team with a .737 FT%. Hardly good for a guard, but a far cry from the .625 he went from the charity stripe last year, and not that much of a problem considering he's only taken 19 FT's through 13 games. If you want to call out one of our guards for FT shooting it would be Hitchens whose percentage has gone down from .750 last year to .625 this year. Again, he has only shot 16 FT's though. Can't really count McClanahan as he's only taken 2 FT's (1 of 2) on t he year.Like I said the bigger problem lies with our big guys:B.McKnight: .655 on 29 FT's about at his career averageC.McKnight: .612 on 49 FT's, his FT% has decreased every year he's been hereCvetinovic: .478 on 23 FT's, down from .636 a year agoZeke: .462 on 39 FT's, not much to compare this too, but he has gotten better lately going 61% over the last 4 games.You want to know why we shoot below 60% on FT's, those guys right there take 53% of our FT's and only hit on 55% combined.Conyers is really our only frontcourt player hitting his FT's as he is tied w/ Roberts for a team leading .778 on 36 FT's.
