More cosmic significance

[SWC75]

In the last three games both Syracuse and it's opponent have had exactly the same free throw shooting percentage:

Opponent / US vs. THEM
Oakland 15/18 = 83.3% vs. 20/24 = 83.3%
North Florida 18/24 = 75.0% vs. 9/12 = 75.0%
Niagara 14/18 = 77.8% vs. 7/9 = 77.8%

As soon as we figure out what it all means, we'll get back to you.

It's probably the cranes outside of the Dome.

ing referees. The referees continue to stink and they try to screw us every game.

Thankfully, it means we're shooting way better than SU teams normally do.

I'm more interested as to why the last two games have had the opponent shoot double the number of FT's as we have.

Scary that both North Florida and Niagara got to the line more than us ..

Actually they didn't. the first number was ours. I've added a heading that makes that more clear. Sorry for the confusion.

Here's what it does not mean: There is a conspiracy, all the refs are against us, the NCAA still is out for JB, or the southern ACC bias wants us to fail.

We have already heard those reasons this season. The FT disparity will likely continue, if not increase, during ACC play.

Ah ok- appreciate the clarity.

this whole ACC thing is nothing but a ruse to sell more chicken sandwiches !

Entropy. Pretty soon all basketball games will end in a tie.

No one’s complaining about ref bias in the games where we shoot more FTs than the other guys? Don’t we want fair contests?

That's the job of the other team's fans!

And for as many 3s we shoot its remarkable that we shoot more than anybody. Except maybe North Florida.

we trail only ND and VT in conference trey attempts. don't expect a lot of free throws launching deep.
