Be prepared for a wild, wacky, insane foul free throw differential in this game.
It is stunning, stunning that UConn is as good as they are and to be as bad at fouls as they are.
Their offensive free throw rate
like how many free throws they take relative to their field goals, is not even among the top 300 teams in all of college basketball.
That's insane.
It is crazy.
Cameron Boozer on this season has taken more than twice as many free throws as anyone on the UConn roster.
You take any two guys in the roster, combine it together, it's not as much as the number of free throws that Cam Boozer has taken.
This UConn team, they just don't get to the free throw line.
And on defense...
They're not even in the top 300 at avoiding free throws, at not putting the opposing team on the free throw line.
Duke shoots an average of 13.2 free โ I'm sorry, Duke's opponents.
Duke's opponents shoot only 13.2 free throws a game.
It's the second lowest number in all of Division I college basketball.
UConn's opponents shoot almost 22 free throws a game.
Like UConn, they just foul a lot.
They put teams at the free throw line a lot, and they don't get to the free throw line.
Danny Hurley, who never saw a moment that wasn't worth screaming and yelling and being offended about, Danny Hurley is about to lose his ever-loving mind because UConn is terrible at fouling and Duke is great at drawing fouls.
The free throw line, to me, is the biggest contrast between these two teams.
That's a big old number, man.
