The CFP is too large by at least 4 teams, probably by 6, I’m unlikely to be co vin Ed otherwise, and this weekend has certainly only made me more certain of that

The problem is giving conference champs the bye. Clemson shouldn’t have been in. ASU and Boise shouldn’t have gotten a bye. The whole way they seeded created mismatches. If PSU, Texas or ND got the bye instead we would have had competitive games. It even messes up the next round too.

Free throws

Rick Barry was famous for it. Plus the dude from Hoosiers.

I was about a 40% free-throw shooter many years ago when I tried to keep track. To me, an NCAA player (who presumably practices free-throw shooting way more than I ever did) barely clearing 40% is pretty hard to do. I know he made eight free throws in a game a few weeks ago, but otherwise Nicholson has been pretty bad from the line this year. I worry that a "hack-a-Matt" strategy could work for the other team.

Free throws

I was surprised when the announcer for the DePaul game said that big Matt's free-throw % was under 50%. When I was a kid (12 years old) I used to make about 80% of my free throws by shooting underhand from between my knees. I could hardly reach the rim the conventional way, but a lot of the kids in the neighborhood shot underhanded. As I got older and stronger I switched to the conventional method mostly because I was embarrassed to shoot underhanded. I never was a accurate though.

Has any one in college or the pros ever shot free throws underhanded? I think it would be worth a try especially for bigs like Matt.
