According to the stats at Bart Torvik's site, it appears that LSJU was the third worst Power 4 team in FTRD, i.e., defensive free throw rate, ahead of only Texas and Vanderbilt. Unsurprising given the brobdingnagian disparity in FTs taken during the 8 ACC road games on the East Coast.
LSJU, Texas and Vandy were all above 40% in FTRD.
Interestingly, two of LSJU's ACC foes, Duke and UNC, were second and third best in FTRD, at only ~ 23%. Hmmmm. Maybe the ACC refs really favor Duke and UNC? Nah. Not enough at stake for the conference . . .
