UNC needs to be able to make their free throws if they want to advance to the national championship game

Carolina fans, particularly those of the Roy Williams era, are not used to seeing a Tar Heel team excel at shooting free throws. But this season, UNC as a team is shooting 76.5% from the charity stripe, good enough for 25th best in the NCAA, and 1st in the ACC! Duke is not far behind percentage-wise at 74.2% this season.

But the Blue Devils have been absolutely zen from the line during the NCAA Tournament. In their four games so far, Duke is shooting 86.2% (56 for 65) including a perfect 9 for 9 in their opening round win over Cal State Fullerton.
