VT has the third-most made free throws among ACC teams.
Not as "atrocious" as alleged on this board.
For the season, VT has made 327 FTs, ranking just behind Stanford's 334 and Cal's 330.
VT ranks seventh in the ACC for FT percentage at .725 after making 28 of 32 vs Notre Dame. Eleven ACC teams are making FTs at a lower percentage than VT.
The Hokies rank third in FT attempts, with 451, and trail only Stanford (463) and Duke (456).
Cal leads the ACC in FT percentage, followed by SMU and Louisville.
Ben Hammond is fifth in ACC FT percentage, .856.

Sure. That doesn't mean it's easy to do it any better than we already do.
