I can't believe how terrible some teams in the tournament have been at shooting from the charity stripe this year. Haven't these guys practiced this every day of their lives for the past 10 years or more.
We all know that this part of the game has been ignored more and more by players after suffering through painful trips to the line from guys like Shaq, Dwight Howard and Tim Duncan but it is getting worse. And it's no longer just the big men who go to the line looking like they are praying for some divine intervention.
How does, Blake Griffin, the leading candidate for player of the year only shoot 58.7% from the line?
Dejuan Blair looked like he knew he was going to miss everytime he went to the line yesterday and just seemed to laugh it off. His misses were a big reason Pitt lost that game.
I'm not a big Tyler Hansbrough guy but you have to like the fact that he has worked on this part of his game knowing that he will spend a significant amount of time taking freebies. And while I don't think he will make much of a pro, the fact that he can go in and be agressive and know that he can knock them down at the line is going to help his chances for more playing time at the next level.
Look for Carolina to cover the seven (Pinnacle) today thanks to superior guard play and ultimately because they will make the free ones when they count.
