Rucker attempted 17 free throws tonight. One short of Andy Kennedy's record of 18.

He came no where near the record for free throws made, which is 16, also by Kennedy. Kennedy was 16 of 18 Free throws against La. Tech on 12/17/88.

And had he been a bit sharper from the line, he could've finished with 30 points and we could've had 30% off! Always room for improvement.

In final 2 minutes(nine offensive possessions), UAB shot 16 free throws and had one turnover, holding on to a five point lead. A terrible shooting night and they held on by the skin of their teeth. Subtract Ruckers 8-12 shooting, the rest of the team averaged 25% shooting tonight, which included 18% from three point range. That is HORRIBLE.

perhaps you can post a picture of a new arena they could play in that might fix those shooting woes

Rucker was the "X-Factor" last night. That game could have easily gone the way of UT-Martin were it not for him and "Pharoah"..."The Silent Assassin" gets the game ball for last night's performance.
