[QUOTE="'72 Orange, post: 130908, member: 400"]
After our usual horrendous start this year from the free throw line (62.6% through the Stanford game), the team has rallied nicely and shot over 75% over the last 7 games (check out the attached file).  Amazingly in three of those games we hit for 80%+.  In years past it seems like we would have one of these great performances but would revert quickly to form.  While this is a fairly small sample, it gives me some hope for more consistent good performances

Scoop has had an abysmal year so far at the line (52%).  As has been posted elsewhere he has seemed to regress every year:  83% (07-08);  75% (09-10);  66% (10-11).  This year he has "bounced back" to matching last year's efficiency during the last 7 games after shooting 42% over the first 6 games.  Must be something in the Syracuse water system.

With the game on the line and the other team is sending us to the line, it would be a luxury if we could maintain the 75% at a minimum.  For that reason alone at crunch time I would like to see BT (83%), KJo  (82%),  CJ (77%), BKM (75%) and Dion (71%) on the floor, although obvously other considerations would prevail.

Not sure if the performance is markedly diffrerent over the last 5 mins of each game.
