The Florida Gators were one of the worst free-throw shooting teams in the country last season. The Gators finished the season with a 64.3% average from the foul line. It was a statistic that cost Florida several games last season and brought the team’s confidence level at the line to an all-time low. John Egbunu, Kasey Hill, Justin Leon, and Kevarrius Hayes all had free-throw percentages below 55.0%.
Florida is only two games into the 2016-17 season, but at this point, it looks like the team has made great strides in that area. The Gators are shooting 78.
