Just getting to the proverb

 Just getting to the line and making free throws is a confidence builder in itself. It keeps the defense honest.

 Everything in this basketball game was pretty much even, but they shot 33-of-39 (from the line). Everything else was pretty much even. It gets down to the free-throw line and making the free throws. The opportunity was there. That's no indictment on anyone but ourselves for not making free throws. It ends up really being the difference in your basketball game.

 We played better defense against them, but we just fouled them too much. Their two big guys went to the line for 30 free throws. The initial defense was good, but you can't foul them like that, and they hit a pretty good percentage of their free throws.
  Mike Krzyzewski

 I'm especially disappointed in how we lost. Beyond the free-throw line we did everything we wanted. You can't shoot free throws like that. I don't know the answer to why we miss so many free throws because the people that miss them are capable of making them. All we can continue to do is keep practicing them.

 She's hit game-winning free throws for us all year. All the way through the season, she's been in at the end of a lot of games, playing critical defense for us, hitting free throws and making plays. She's an amazing talent.

 They did a lot better job at the free-throw line. In big games at this time, it's going to come down to free throws. We did better at the line than we did yesterday. We shoot free throws a lot. Basketball is mental — you have to go up, stay focused and nail it.

 We work hard on our free throws. 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease. We end each practice with 10-15 minutes of free throws. I expect our girls to make the free throws. It is all about confidence.

 We didn't make our free throws. It's pretty simple. We didn't convert at the free-throw line - that's the equivalent of a turnover (each time). It's about making shots you need to make. You have got to make free throws to win games. And without defensive rebounding you're not going to win.

 I'm just thankful for the free-throw line because we stepped up and made the free throws. Good teams make their free throws and we're getting to the free-throw line so much more this year than we have in the past.

 It (foul trouble) may have been a key in the second half. But we didn't shoot hardly any free throws in the first half. The second half they had more fouls than we did. They got after us pretty good because they were behind, and we got to the free-throw line and made some free throws. Obviously, any time you've got the lead and you make free throws, it's big.

 It gets down to the free throw line and making free throws. The opportunity was there.

 When you're not making field goals, one positive thing you can do at the offensive end is get to the free-throw line and make free throws.

 We were in a bonus and we couldn't make any free throws. Free throws were the problem. I'll bet we didn't shoot 50 percent from the free-throw line.

 When you get this close, making your free throws, making everything count is important. We just didn't make our free throws for some reason.

 We made free throws, they fouled us and we made free throws. We were able to get a couple of baskets when it was starting to get tight, and we held the off and kept them at bay. It was really just making free throws.
