Coach Calipari and the Importance of Free Throws


John Calipari's teams have historically struggled from the free throw line. This year his Kentucky Wildcats are hitting 67% from the line, which is 184th in the nation.
Free throws played a part in the Kentucky loss to Indiana. The Cats shot just 58.8% from the free throw line. With 20 seconds to go, Anthony Davis missed the front end of a one-and-one. With six seconds to go, Doron Lamb only made one of two free throws. Those three points would have won the game. In the game before that against North Carolina, if Marquis Teague could have made his free throws with 21 seconds to go, Anthony Davis' huge blocked shot might not have been necessary.
