Gafford's free throw shooting big concern for Razorbacks

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — In the next seven days before Arkansas’ basketball team opens its regular season next Friday night at 6 p.m. against Texas on ESPN in the Armed Service Classic at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, one thing is certain.

Razorback center Daniel Gafford (6-11, 233) plans to spend a lot of time practicing his free throws.

Gafford (6-11, 233) - a projected lottery pick in the 2019 NBA draft who was just a 52.8 percent free throw shooter (85-of-161) as a freshman - is coming off a preseason where he hit 6-of-18 charity tosses in three games.
