Through games for the week ending 2/15 & 16 - the UH team played 5 games - 3 road (at Cincy, at USF at SMU) and two home games (Tulane and WSU). If I read the box scores correctly {and while I feel fairly confident I have those right - I invite anyone to double check my math} - at home the UH attempted 37 FTs and the opponents attempted 30 - an average disparity in favor of UH of +3.5. On the road (which included two losses by a total of 3 points) the UH attempted 36 FTs - the opponents attempted 78 FTs an average disparity in favor of the opposition of 14!
To turn the cube a bit - that is a home court advantage for the opposition of over 10 FT attempts a game
I offer no conclusion or deep meaning other than - the UH has 3 home games - I hope that those who have tickets to attend understand their duty to attend and if not - to get the tickets into the hands of those who can. The fate of this year's dance invitation depends on you.
Like I posted before, my main concern is that our best FT shooter is going to have a hard time staying on the court much less getting calls that will get him to the line
