Free throw shooting is one of the most important skills in basketball. It is also one of the most difficult to master. Free throws are shots taken from the free throw line, which is located 15 feet from the basket. In order for a free throw to count, the shooter must release the ball before the tenth second of the shot clock. Free throws can be the difference between winning and losing a game, so it is important for players to practice and master this skill. In this section, you can find news, articles, and videos that discuss free throw shooting and ways to improve.
Subpar shooting, missed free throws and turnovers resulted in the No. 23 Iowa Hawkeyes losing a second-straight conference game for the first time since Caitlin Clark’s freshman year. The Illinois Fighting Illini earned the 62-57 upset win.
The Iowa Hawkeyes had the game in their hands with an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter, but failing to convert at the free throw line not only resulted in an overtime loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, but also furthers their worst losing streak since 2016.
