PORTS Tuesday, January 28, 2003 MENS BASKETBALL Straight shooters .., + Notre Dame's excellent free throw shooting has been key to its 16-3 record this season By ANDREW SOUKUP SportS Writer The total is now up to three. r Three coaches, that is, who complained about officiating following a game with Notre Dame. First Seton Hall coach Louis Orr blasted the officials for whistling his team with too few fouls, citing a 29-9 disparity in free throws attempted. Then Rutgers coach Gary Waters made a thinly veiled comment about the quality of Big East offi ciating after his team watched Notre Dame take 23 foul shots to the Knight's nine. The latest member of the club? Boston College coach AI Skinner, who, after his team lost to the Irish 101-96 Saturday pointed out that the Irish made more free throws (31) than the Eagles shot (19). But there's a good chance coaches wouldn't be complaining a lot if the Irish weren't deadly from the free throw line. So far this season, the Irish have shot 75.7 per cent from the charity stripe, a percentage that jumped to 77.6 in Big East play alone. That places the Irish second behind Providence in free throw shooting. "We have a good free throw shooting team," said senior Matt Carroll, who is second on the team with a 82.6 percent free throw shooting average. "It's a big weapon we use to score. The more we drive, the more we get to the line." Chris Thomas and Carroll lead the team in both free-throw attempts and percentage - Thomas has connected on a team-high 86.4 percent of his shots - a statistic that shows a newfound aggressiveness on the part of the Irish guards. But the team's free throw shooting success has come as a result of solid foul shooting from Notre Dame's big men. In fact, in conference play, only Jordan Cornette - who has made five of his nine attempts - is shooting under 70 percent from Senior Dan Miller takes a shot at the free-throw line during a game earlier In the season. see IRISH/page 18 throw shooting Is responsible for Notre Dame's winning record this season.
