[QUOTE="RabidDawgClassic, post: 1812343, member: 748042"] Regarding free throws, one of the main reasons Wisconsin won so many close games last year despite being - arguably - less athletically gifted than it’s B1G opponents was because it’s players consistently made their free throws. Not just at the end, but throughout the game. Because they didn’t leave many points on the table, they were able to keep games close and pull them out in the end. Uncharacteristically, they missed a lot of free throws in the season finale against Nebraska, allowing the undermanned Cornhuskers to stay close and pull out a win. Missed free throws are points you’re not adding to your lead. [/QUOTE]
