The Missouri basketball team has been making its free throws and making history at the same time. The only problem is, those weren’t adding up to wins.
That could be discouraging for a team that is struggling to find a victory. But on Tuesday night, Mizzou finally got the job done, and the Tigers can thank their free-throw shooting as part of the reason they came back to beat Georgia 72-69.
Mizzou trailed Georgia by 20 points with just 13 minutes to play in Tuesday’s game. The Tigers knocked down 11 free throws in a row after that, going 11 of 13 from the charity stripe down the stretch, missing their first and last free throws in that span.
