UConn Leading Nation in FT%

[TripleDribbleMan]

Nobody has really talked much about it, but this team is quietly shooting a blistering 78.4% on FTs as a team (might be slightly higher after today's 12-15). I do not recall any UConn team shooting a higher %:

Purvis has helped that number lately, he's up to 73% in AAC games.

Purvis has improved considerably. I never understood why he was such a poor FT shooter his first two college seasons, because guys who hit 40% on 3s usually can knock down FTs at a solid rate.

I just wish the team got to the line a little bit more. Adams, Hamilton and even Purvis should get to the line a lot more than they do.
