Buzz says FT shooting is about toughness. The numbers above show a team that has been tough the 3 games.
Thoughts?
Throw in today's 24-27. Todd, Davante, and Jamil are shooting more and have found their groove. Clutch.

Ya I think I don't think its a coincidence.
Buzz has been rolling with Jake, Dwil, jamil, Ox and Todd. 4 of those guys are our best 4 free throw shooters(Dawson and JJJ may be better than Jake/Jamil but limited reps and they aint playing).
So, now with Todd attacking and getting there a lot recently and using the bonus in the second half we always have our best guys at the line.
Derrick is still pretty bad but 5-7 I believe last two games. Use him as the inbounder and the other guys ice the games. It was only a matter of time before Jamil's numbers improved..59% was way too low for a guy with his stroke and ability.
Yep-- the lineup is tightning. However--the FT shooting can waiver between 60-85% the next game.
Can't wait to hear how we couldnt hit our FT vs. Creighton...cuz that would be so unlike such a good/hot FT shooting team like MU.
