Happy Friday Nova Nation! We’re taking a second to step away from more serious topics like Big East Championships and highly ranked opponents. Instead, let’s focus on why everyone tunes in to watch college basketball: free throws.

Free throws are only exciting in that there’s a chance they don’t go in, especially late in games. It’s also late in games when free throws can be the most annoying, as some of our friends at Marquette pointed out Wednesday night.
