“We suck at it. We’re fucking terrible at drawing fouls and getting ourselves to the line.”
Dennis Gates said this following the late February loss to Tennessee at Mizzou Arena, imploring the media members in attendance to not censor any part of that statement.
The Tigers shot a solid 21 free throws that night, sinking 15 of them. But, the Vols attempted 27 and made 19 en route to a 72-67 victory.
In total, the Tigers have only attempted more free throws than their opponents on six occasions this season (with one tie against Ole Miss in Oxford).
