Texas Tech is the only Final Four team I have left and I had them getting beat by Duke. I had Duke over North Carolina in the finals, so yeah.......... I didn't fare too well.

On average its about how it's always been.  Not everyone can be Larry bird, steph curry, Reggie Miller at the line.  Even the great scores like Jordan, Kobe were pretty much avg at the line but made their free throws when it mattered.

In what world is 84% average?

Can you explain to me how somehow practices shooting free throws with the pressure of going to the Final 4?

And except for a big dip from 93-99, the average NBA FT% has been fairly consistent. 2010 had the highest % for a season.

Auburn coach should be fired for all those "fouls to give" fouls in the last 10 seconds. Man up and play D and let then go full court to score.

Situational/pressure is nearly impossible to replicate.  You either have ice water in the veins at that particular moment, or not.

An 81% FT shooter hits 3 free throws in a row at a 54% clip, and that's just in regular play. Serious stones on the young lad

After he made the first one, you knew he was drilling them all.

Kid was so clutch.

I was hoping to see Texas Tech gut it out. What a scrappy team. Hats off to Virginia.

was more fun to watch that I anticipated. Hell of a comeback story from going out to a 16 last season. Well done Virginia.
