I know FTs no matta ... but really, polls no matta, either.
So what the heck; I thought I'd have a little fun here!

Yes.

I love it. So far, "Next week" is tied with NEVER!

I went with "Never. And that includes his 15-year NBA career."
But I should have went with "Other" to clarify that by never I mean never again in practice, pickup, playing with neices/nephews on a fischer price hoop, crumpled paper into wastebasket post playing career, etc.

This was my first Scoop poll (and likely my last), and now I'm seeing why others enjoy starting them.
Good, clean, American fun!

Correct.

Crapola! "Next week" has edged past "Never"!

Bump.
The leading vote-getter - Markus missing during the Georgia-Vermont-Wisconsin stretch - is now kaput!

Isn’t this like a no-hitter... you’re not supposed to talk about it or mention it.

Hey Smuggles.
Nobody ever talks about the no-hitters that are pitched after the announcer mentions them from the 5th inning on - as more and more announcers (thankfully) do. Nobody ever talks about the free throws guys make after the announcers mention them.
Announcers have been talking about Markus being perfect from the line for at least 4 games now.
I know you were kidding, but there are people who actually believe it! I'm a big Bilas fan, but he embarrasses himself when he wastes time talking about the "FT jinx."

tbh most announcers say tons of irrelevant nonsense.
We all know FTsNoMatta but will it ever end probably not. FG%, rebounding margin... they’ve been around so long that the masses, who are idiots, won’t stop. Sad!

Oooh ... that's a good one. Wish I had included it.
Pretty funny that they would chant automatic for a good FT shooter like Davante but not for the nation's best.
BTW ... lots of recent votes for NEVER!
-
When we are down 3 in the final seconds of the National Championship, Markus will go to the line and sacrifice his streak, line one off the front rim that gets tipped out to Rowsey, who promptly hits #TheThing for the game winning 4-point play.

Agreed, but I think it was the novelty of a brute force guy of that size who lived at the line hitting 80%+
M2N is literally autmatic, whereas Davante was spirtually automatic

I am going by my memory, but I think Novak missed both throws when the streak ended. It could of been another streak he had. Probably missed the second, because he was upset about missing the first.

9 for 9 against NIU

I will admit that when Markus went to the line to complete the 3-point play that tied the game near the end of regulation, I turned to my wife and said: "This guy hasn't missed a free throw all year. He'd better not miss this one."
He didn't. Swish.
I'm sticking with NEVER!
-
Well, we've gotten through the first two levels of this, and Markus is 51-for-51.
Next up: The Butler game.
I have a flight to Indy and tickets to the game, but it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow, get very cold and windy overnight and then have ice and snow on Friday morning, so I don't know if my flight will happen or not. I'd be super-bummed if it doesn't cuz I'm supposed to meet a couple of buds.
And I want to see Markus go 11-for-11 from the line in our big 80-70 road win to pass Novak for the 3rd-longest streak ever!
-

To be clear, because there's some confusion on this, Markus' streak now sits at 60. He made his final 9 free throws of the 2016-17 season. He scored the final two points of the Creighton win at the line with 5 seconds to play, went 7/7 against Seton Hall at MSG, and didn't shoot a free throw against South Carolina.
I believe the confusion is because of the Creighton game. He went 2/4 in that game and missed the front end of two one-and-one opportunities with 0:42 and 0:32 on the clock, respectively. The key is that the two he made were the last two, thus the beginning of the streak.
Not singling you out, 82, just want us to be accurate in knowing that when Markus makes 9 more in a row, we can celebrate him breaking Novak's record. When he makes 26, he'll have broken Darnell Archey's all time record of 85.

Does the NCAA record account for multiple seasons, or is it just for a single season? Based on the graphic in this thread, it seems like it's just for a single season.

If you read the article, it mentions that Archey's streak went from February 2001 to January 2003.

Thanks, brew. I like facts, and I certainly wasn't trying to misrepresent anything.
So he's at 60 - amazing!!
I'll settle for 9-for-9 at Butler ... whether or not my flight ever takes off.

And being too lazy to look anything up, I'll bet #2 is Matty. Dude has been a model of consistency all season. And when you can have your big guy on the floor during hackatime in end games situations, you'll hold a lot of 2-3 possession leads through the final horn.

It's close but Sams got him by 6.
17/19 for Matt
23/25 for Sam.
-
Sam is shooting .920 from the line.
Matt is at .895, which is very good for anybody, let alone a center, let alone any team's FOURTH-best FT shooter.
Of course, Matt's sample size is quite small (only 19 attempts in 17 games). My main problem with having him on the floor at the end of a game in a "they're gonna foul us" situation has nothing to do with his FT stroke. He's pretty slow and, mostly, he doesn't have the best hands.

It's really been true all year. Sure, lowish usage. But I never have a problem seeing Matty go to the line. Solid, like most things in his somewhat limited game. I love guys like that.

That's right. Like a lot of things with Matty's game, he's improved right up to the limit of the gifts that God gave him. What coach doesn't absolutely LOVE that?
Here's what I 100% know. He's starting every single one of his remaining MU games barring injury/illness.

Markus was 4 for 4 tonight (Butler, Jan 12)
64 straight, correct?
If so, he tied for #5 all-time and is 4 behind Novak for #3 All-time.

The media is wrong. I tweeted at Mac during the game and just sent a thread at Broeker, Kuykendall, Homer, and the Marquette basketball account.
Go back and check the Creighton game. Howard missed two front end one-and-ones but was 2/2 on a trip with 5 seconds left, the last points scored in the game. He then went 7/7 against Seton Hall at MSG and didn't go to the line against South Carolina.
9 last year plus 55 this year is 64. 4 more to tie Novak, 21 more to equal Darnell Archey.

Yeah I get it. They don?t. For whatever reason. And unfortunately, they are the clowns in charge of the books.

Have you gotten any response brew? You are 100% correct based on my analysis. What the h*ll is the SID doing anyway? This has the potential to be a historic achievement. Between this and the fact that someone can't get the effin' flashpods to work during intros means somebody might need to find a new job.

HA! I asked Kuykendall if we should go 'no hitter radio silent'. No response. :)

I had to listen to the Butler home broadcast (damnSiriusXM) and they had 60 in a row on there before his first make. So the number is out there somewhere.
The announcers kept calling Butler ?the Dogs.? Sometimes felt like I was listening to dog races.

Ah I see what you are saying. Sure, if Markus hit one of those it could have changed the outcome of the game by a point or two....of course if Howard hit anywere near close to his 64% 2FG% instead of 2/10 it would have changed the outcome a lot more. Or if we didn't have have three more turnovers...or allow them to shoot 57 eFG%....or allow them to grab double digit offensive rebounds...or allow them to draw 8 more fouls than us...
We fans like to focus in on missed FTs for some reason when really their impact is minuscule on the total outcome. Reality is, our season FT% as a team is 78.9%. We made 75% of our FTs today. Even if you say we "shoot our average" by making one more (which would be 83%) it is only a difference of 1 point.

Of course. But all of those things are affected by Villanova's excellent defense. When a 97% FT shooter gets sent to the line late in a tight game against the #1 team in the nation and you emerge with zero points, your already slim margin for error gets even slimmer.

Again, that's not the point. It's always better to make a foul shot than not make a foul shot.
But Markus' bad field goal shooting (and bad decision making) was 99% of his "bad" today. Missing the FT was about 1%.

Sure. It's just not the impactful on the final outcome of the game. There are dozens of other things that are much more meaningful.

But this isn't a $100 bill lying on the ground. It's a free throw. And despite the word free being in the name they are not easy. Statistically, D1 players make between 65% and 70% of their free throws. And no player has ever gone 100% in a season (with a meaningful amount of attempts). Markus is going to miss them occasionally. And while it was big in that moment, overall it is not that big to the final outcome.

Sure. It's just not the impactful on the final outcome of the game. There are dozens of other things that are much more meaningful.
Missing the front end of a 1 and 1 is meaningful. It's a wasted possession. That definitely matters in a close game. It may not be any different than a missed FG, but it's still big. If you missed the front end, you're missing a shot that gives the defense a much higher percentage chance at a rebound than a typical FG, and that is a bad possession. To me, it seems similar to taking a bad shot, and I think most people would agree that matters.

It's not the same as a wasted possession. It puts a foul on an opposing player which is valuable. FTs matter in the moment but minimally in the grand scheme of the whole game. It's as simple as that.
-
Truth is more than the missed FT Markus played really bad today, fouling too much, making bad decisions by driving against 3 defenders at least 3 times. He was like bad Rowsey today.

With free throws making up about 25% of Nova's scoring, I just can't see how so many people say they don't matter. Shooting 20+ FTs, the difference between 60% and 90% matters. That's 2-3 possessions.

Just because Team FT% is not one of the Four Factors, does not mean it is irrelevant as it relates to winning basketball games. You're simply wrong, but feel free to continue on with this inane point.

Theatrically it matters some. It's just not statistically significant

Run the correlation and the truth will be revealed. You’re wrong. Sad!

I agree with this analysis.

Anyone think Marcus could have been injured on Sunday. Many of his misses were off the font of the rim....as he did not have enough lift.

I don't know about injured, but I kept thinking he looked tired with his shots falling short. I suppose it could be a long season catching up with him. Sure hope he bounces back soon.

Well, maybe he is tired from all the shots he is taking....37% shot usage in conference...a star player should be around 29% according to "Scorecasting", which is where Rowsey is. Sam only at 17%. He needs to be around 24% and that has to come from Markus.

He looked tired and frustrated to me with his foul trouble, I think he was trying to do too much. Big game tomorrow.

Drop the mic.
Feel the "ultimate green light," Wojo likes to say Markus has, needs to be dialed back. His shot selection in Villanova game was absolutely terrible. Rowsey plays far less hero ball, and that's saying something. Need your best players taking the most shots, but Markus has gotten a little carried away. He no longer even looks to pass to a teammate if he drives the lane.

Yes, watching him when he wasn't in the play, or back on defense early, he kept reaching for his lower back. Maybe hurt from one of the times he fell on the floor.

Which is interesting from the perspective of the recent discussion that Markus needs to draw more contact when he drives the lane in order to get to the line vs. Wojo's comments earlier in the year about figuring out ways to keep Markus from hitting the floor as frequently.
