Was in the Al yesterday towards the very end of practice. Saw the team practicing free throws. Juan and Luke were up when I went through.
Symbolizes (to me) the degree of change from the previous regime. Good stuff!
On a different note, had dinner at Sobelman's on campus. The place was packed!!!
This morning, saw a cool personalized MU license plate that read "Lanche". ;D Black BMW. If the dude driving it is a Scooper, hats off!
Outside of last year, Buzz's teams were usually pretty good at FTs. They were generally around 72 or 73%...which is good for a nationwide rank in the mid-50s to low-60s.

Curious, do you know what the average FT% is of "really good" teams? Teams that make the S16?

It varies. See below for the teams that made up the Top 50 last year on team FT%

No. I just looked at the national rankings.
But I guess I don't see the point. If "really good teams" aren't highly ranked in FT%, then it must not be that important. If they are, and Marquette was regularly in the 20th percentile nationally, then Buzz must have done a good job with free throws.
The "practicing free throws" issue with Buzz was always very questionable.
