We would have won by four points.

know i'm not one of those people my dad my dearly departed father used to just lose his mind when his team missed any free throw and i would always say to him i'm like look they may be called free throws but you're not going to hit all of them right i i'm not one of these people who's like you know oh we got to be 80 or better i think that's that's not fair that's not realistic but the national average

The average across all of college basketball is just a tick under 72%.

I think it's like 71.8, 71.9, something like that.

I think 70%, and Duke on the season is right at 70%.

I think 70% is a perfectly reasonable number.

level to expect from your team.

Your goal should be 75 plus.

Your goal should be to get close to 80.

But I think 70% is like, that's the least acceptable line that I'll accept, that I'll have for the team.

And for this Duke team, like you said, to hit 58% of our free throws in a close, tight game, to miss as many front ends of one-on-ones as we did, yeah, we left points at the line.

And we left points at the line in key moments.

I'm not going to say... Well, no, I will say...

You miss a free throw in the first half.

It's not the same as missing a free throw in the final five minutes.

And Duke is missing free throws in the final five minutes.

Can be their step to the line with a chance to give Duke the lead and missed a free throw.

It's just you can't do that and expect to beat a good team unless you're going to do other things like out of this world good.

And Duke did not.

Donald, do you know who led this game in plus minus on both teams?
