Michigan Basketball: 3 important things to watch vs Seton Hall
3. Free Throw Shooting
Michigan basketball the past two games has been, well, to put it lightly absolutely abysmal at the line. The Wolverines are shooting 56% from the line leaving almost 30 points in the last two games at the line.
No, Michigan basketball cannot make every free throw but let’s take a look at the free throw percentage of Big Ten foe’s Illinois and Purdue. Illinois is shooting 44/70 from the line at roughly 63%. Purdue is shooting 46/61 at about 75% from the line. Michigan’s free-throw shooting needs fixing as you can see…
If Michigan can’t capitalize at the line they’re going to seriously struggle against Seton Hall, as a matter of fact, any opponent. The Wolverines need to bump that 56% up about 15-20% just in general to keep games out of reach.
Shooting bad from the line is a recipe for an upset, and Seton Hall is cooking up that recipe as we speak.
