Wisconsin is chasing an NCAA team free-throw shooting record held by Harvard. So far this season we're shooting about 82.6% at the line coming into today's game against Northwestern. I say "about" because we shot 16-20 today.
What's interesting is that we're ranked (I believe) 341st out of 345 D1 teams in opponent FT shooting with our opponents averaging 74.4% at the line.
Seems to suggest that in the face of good competition provided by UW at the charity stripe, others step up their game as well.
Thought this was interesting as you only really compete against yourself when shooting free-throws.
