Preston Purifoy and Fahro Alihodzic mentioned for Free throws.

Quote:Preston Purifoy is an exception.

The UAB guard has hit 25 free throws in a row and is shooting 94.9 percent from the charity stripe, No. 3 in America. But he's not sure why. There's no science or secret to his proficiency, he says. He practices like the rest of his teammates. He steps up to the line and tosses the ball 15 feet toward the rim. It usually goes into the basket.

"It's basically repetition and practice," Purifoy said.

Quote:Fahro Alihodzic (UAB): The 6-10 center, who shoots 85 percent from the free throw line, defies the theory that big men can't shoot free throws. 

(How did I beat Western Blazer on this)

He was napping.

He's still napping

He must be hammered drunk. Nobody scoops him. He's the fastest scooper in the West.

Perhaps he is just relaxing and taking the day off. However, it is shocking!
