One other stat I'd like to see them attain is 75% FT shooting. The team from 2 seasons ago was great at the line and it paid off big. (I still think that team was at least a Final Four team.) SEC refs are whistle happy and they'll need to capitalize on FT attempts. Also, just wanted to say thanks for the Zoom call Q&A with Kyle Tucker. He does such a great job at covering Kentucky basketball. It was really cool getting to interact with more or less a team insider.
That’s a good point. Free throw shooting can be big in the NCAA Tourney because it helps hold onto leads in close games (see UConn 2014 for an example). That would be a valuable hidden source of offense.
Thanks for participating in the Zoom! Kyle’s one of the best at covering college basketball.
