Statistically speaking, last year West Virginia’s Elijah Macon probably had a better chance of being struck by lightning than making a big free throw.
The forward converted a scattershot 46.3 percent from the charity stripe and was the last guy you’d want to see on the floor when the clock hit the 10-minute mark of the second half.
It was just simply impossible to have him out there.
A year later, Macon is one of those guys you want to see out there stepping up to the line. If you recall, in a recent game against Texas Tech, it was Macon who made two critical free throws with a couple minutes left in regulation to tie the score at 68 in a game the Mountaineers eventually won in double overtime.
