There is one thing that will rankle any basketball fanbase, and the Gonzaga Bulldog faithful in particular: poor free throw shooting.
In a much tighter than expected win against the Texas-Arlington Mavericks last night, the Zags tried as hard as they could to make it as close as possible by shooting 17-for-30 from the free throw line. Last night was the first time the Zags have taken at least 30 free throw attempts and shot under 60 percent since February 2015.
Everyone was a contributor to the lost cause, but the easy blame falls on Ryan Woolridge (2-for-7) and Admon Gilder (7-for-11).
