To put it mildly, Kentucky basketball this season has been puzzling. The players on the court look just as confused as the fans watching, trying to ascertain a strategy of attack. This generalization speaks to the overall state of a program floundering in mediocrity despite a roster that, on paper, has the pieces needed for success. However, to zoom in on one particularly perplexing component of a season rife with frustration, this team has been historically bad from the free throw line.
Through 12 games this season, Kentucky has made 148 out of 224 free throws for a less-than-stellar 66.
