this is really frustrating. They could have a 15 point lead or more if they hit those freebies.

Good win by the Vols over a pretty solid team.

still does not mean they practice free throws, most kids I know that even play AAU are always playing pick up games. Its definitely something you need to practice on your own. You have to have a rhythm and the same routine over and over.
