The UW men’s basketball team lost to Oregon State earlier today, 86-84, damaging their chances to make the NCAA tournament.
During the game, the Huskies went 12-26 from the free throw line (42.6%). That’s bad.
By coincidence, tonight I started researching team stats in earnest, to prepare for the upcoming wagering. I figured I’d look to see what teams were terrible at free throws; maybe I’d find a hidden achilles heel.
As it turns out, the Huskies were at 61.2% on their free throws through Wednesday, ranking 329th out of 345 total teams. That’s bad bad bad.
It was only a matter of time until that bit them in the behind. Ouch!
I figured them to be one and done if they made the dance anyway, so this isn’t really a surprise. The Pac 10 may only end up with one team this season – that being whoever wins the conference tourney.
