My favorite player in the NCAA tournament is in this bracket. He is not likely to win, nor is he likely to be successful at the thing which drew me to him. I'm talking about Wofford's Tyler Filowich. Center led the conference in rebounding and field goal percentage, last place in the conference in free throw percentage.

28 at the time. He decided to switch from overhand regular free throws, at which he was shooting 28%, to underhanded, commonly referred to as granny style free throws. Although, I'm not sure how that name, I've never seen any grandmothers play basketball.

He's a big boy. He's a center. He dominates in the paint. So this is like, he was shooting 28%. Someone on his coaching staff had a connection with Rick Barry, the NBA Hall of Famer.

The unhanded free throw, whose sons, some of his sons shot underhanded. He shot like 90% for his career. He flew to South Carolina. to teach our guy Kyler here how to shoot underhanded free throws. He switched in February. It's the last season of his career. He's a fifth-year senior. This is his time to shine. It's now or never. He switches to underhanded free throws.

And the story that you probably cooked up in your head is that he switched and he's good at it. He's not. He still sucks at shooting free throws. He's shooting 35% from the line since he switched to underhand.

It's an improvement. In the SOCON tournament, in the first two games, he shot one for five and then one for five again. He's really just kind of hucking it off the backboard there. It's so inspiring to watch him go out there having dedicated so much effort to this thing that can change this last moment of his career.

Everyone is yelling at him from the stands, calling him names, telling him he shouldn't be doing this. And he's still bad at it and he still persists. And he made it to the NCAA tournament. And this is what this moment is all about. These teams from all across the country, which are trying weird things, and some of them aren't even that good at them. And they have this one day where,

to beat a better team. And sometimes that weird thing they do works and we remember them forever. And sometimes it doesn't and we just move on.
