In the game of college basketball, there are few stats that are more important to a team’s offensive success than free throw percentage. If a team is good at getting to the line and making their opponents pay from the charity stripe, then they’re usually going to be a successful team on offense. Defensively, the same sort of theory applies. If a team can keep you from getting to the line, keep you from getting free baskets, then they’re going to be stronger defensively.
