3. Will Free Throw shooting continue to improve?

Before I dive deeper into this, I want to say that anyone that slanders or talks bad about Terrance Williams for missing those free throws is not a real fan.

Instead of putting him down, uplift him and let him know how much we support him. It’s one game, and at the end of the day, it’s just that, a game.

With that out of the way let’s talk about the free-throw shooting. Michigan actually shot 83% from the free-throw line hitting 10-12 FT’s. That’s a major step up from the last two games. Michigan has continuously gotten better each and every game from the line.

If Michigan can convert fouls into points this should get out of hand quickly.

UNLV loves to foul and play tight defense. Michigan is great at drawing fouls when teams play defense like that (Buffalo) so they need to keep up the free-throw shooting.
