Will Markus ever miss a FT?

[MU82]

I know FTs no matta ... but really, polls no matta, either.

So what the heck; I thought I'd have a little fun here!

[tower912]

Yes.

[MU82]

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

[Silkk the Shaka]

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.

They're the same thing.
Eat at Arby's.

[MU82]

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

Good, clean, American fun!

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I went with next week.

Not because of the pressure, but purely due to the fact that you started this thread 

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

I went with never because based on last night he will never shoot another one.  Unless there is a technical

[Class71]

Answer is yes he will miss. When anyone can guess.

[GGGG]

Answer is yes he will miss. When anyone can guess.

Thanks.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Answer is yes he will miss. When anyone can guess.

[bilsu]

Other, since he is not likely to beat Novak's record of 50+ free throws made in a row.

[Class71]

Correct.

[MU82]

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

[MU82]

Bump.

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

I'm sticking with NEVER!!!

[Tugg Speedman]

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

[MU82]

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."

[Jay Bee]

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!

[Dawson Rental]

As soon as students begin a "automatic" chant for him.

I wanted to vote in the poll, but couldn't since I won't be at the Jan 12th game at Butler.

[MUMonster03]

Other, since he is not likely to beat Novak's record of 50+ free throws made in a row.

Does anyone know how many Novak did hit in a row? Howard currently sits at 36 in a row counting his last 9 makes last year.

[Tugg Speedman]

Markus is now at 45 straight ... and counting

Though the Providence game he is 38 for 38 FTs

He also hit his last 7 in a row to end last season
http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/4065805/year/2017/markus-howard

He is 19 consecutive makes away from cracking the top 5 all-time.  23 straight from tying Novak.

The NCAA all-time record for consecutive FTs made is 85.

Novak #3 all-time at 68

45 straight this season (Nova included)

7 for 7 against Seton Hall in the BET last year.  Missed against Creighton the game before, and had no FT attempts against South Carolina in the Tourney

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/4065805/year/2017/markus-howard

7 straight to end last season, 45 straight this season ... 52 and counting.

12 from cracking the top five, 16 from Novak, 33 from the record.

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!

[KampusFoods]

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
