KU’s Dotson delivers at line: ‘Act like you are in the backyard shooting free throws’

One of Kansas’ best free throw shooters during the 2018-19 nonconference season, Devon Dotson went 4-for-4 from the line in the last 70 seconds of No. 1-ranked Kansas’ 74-71 victory over No. 17 Villanova on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

The 6-foot-2 freshman from Charlotte, N.C., who is 22 of 28 overall (78.6 percent, second to Charlie Moore’s 80 percent), said he had positive thoughts as he helped assure victory over the defending national champs.

“Just make the free throws. Knock down the free throws. I had to come through for the team,” Dotson said of his mental approach from the line in crunch time.
