Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2145047, member: 716"] Regarding free-throw shooting, it's not crazy to say we'd have had a losing record with a typical Syracuse free-throw percentage. Florida State, Virginia, all the buzzer-beaters. We needed every point. I posted about this on the 23rd and SU managed to improve after that game: from .722 to .74 for the year. Awesome. Strange as it is to believe, it's not Boeheim's best: 1984, .751; 1981, .749. But this season is very, very impressive. In addition to the top two, there were .715 seasons in 1985, 1994, and 2001. Every other year was worse, with a low point of .600 in 1988. So that's a big positive for 2017. [/QUOTE]
