on free throw shooting to both win & generate real offense. After last night we've outshot our opponents 104 to 59 in FTA and 81-47 in makes. It becomes even more glaring when you look at individual games
OPPONENT RESULT FT (Opponent)
OLE MISS L 63-51 15-17 (15-21)
KENTUCKY W 82-69 29-38 (15-19)
OKLAHOMA W 72-62 27-37 (7-9)
TENNESSEE L 74-56 10-12 (10-10)
81-104 47-59
To take it a step further we've scored 261 points in that time (81 from the FT line) accounting for 31% of the scoring. Our opponents conversely have 268 points (47 from the FT line) accounting for only 17%. My point being our reliance on FT shooting/points to bolster our offense is a losing formula for the remainder of the SEC season. We've gotta balance things out a bit more I'm afraid to really get where we are all hoping to go.
