Lowest number of FT attempts. Wonder why. Can’t explain away that bias except one way.

Very nice improvement for UH in FT% over the last 4-5 years

Alot of that is due to lack of aggression going to the rim. The more times you do it the more calls you will get.

To me this suggests an obvious strategy the last part of our Second Halves:
Drive to the basket and draw fouls. We hit our attempts.
Instead we endlessly dribble around the 3 point line,run clock, Jack up some shot.
I am no Coach but we lost by 3 last night and Iowa St scored 4 points more than we did at The FT line. And they committed only 11 fouls.
Put Cenac or Tugler at the top of the key, throw it to them, cut to the basket. Get a layup attempt and a foul.
Basketball 101. We Jack up 3’s instead of cutting to the basket and drawing fouls.
