The Sun’s Arizin: Villanova Basketball’s Free Throw Record

Happy Thursday Nova Nation! Throughout the season whenever asked about a major accomplishment, title, or award, Jay Wright gives the same response. We’ll take time to appreciate that after the season is over. Well the season is over, and there’s plenty to reflect on from this season. One of those great achievements is that Villanova is the new NCAA record holder for best Free Throw Percentage in a season.

The old record, held by the 1984 Harvard team, was 82.2% (535 of 651). Villanova, while shooting fewer free throws, surpassed that mark by finishing at 83.
