If you're cheering for her to get the record, keep cheering. Her new streak is at 8. She has attempted 34 free throws in 5 games. If she were to continue at that pace, she'll have another 68 FTA around the Washington game on January 7, potentially breaking the record then (8+68 = 76). The single season consecutive FT record is 70. Likely she'll miss some and won't get there, but she has the potential to break the record, miss one, and then break her own record again this year, all during the regular season. There are 30 regular season games this year, plus potentially 3 PAC-12 tourney games plus potentially up to 5 NCAA tourney games.
Not likely, but fun to think about. If she keeps shooting 97.1% and 6.8 FTA/game, and Stanford goes to the Final Four, she would have 244 FT in the season (50 below the NCAA record).
33 of her 92 points (avg 18.4 pt/g) have come at the FT line. Her FT shooting is yet another reason for her to maybe back off on some of the fouls that get called. (My impression is that she gets called for a higher percentage of offensive fouls than most players.)
Quote:Brink had her consecutive free throw streak come to an end when she made just one of two from the line in the second quarter. Brink made 73 consecutive free throws before her miss, which ranks second all-time to North Dakota's Michelle Gaislerova (75, from Dec. 30, 2018 to Feb. 23, 2020).
