Finally played a complete game! Really close last Wednesday and the game came down to a few made and a few missed shots. Clarr really is starting to put it together. Is it true, is WIU #1 in freethrow shooting for D1 at the present time?

jcWestern was #3 (behind Pepperdine and South Carolina State) for games played through Monday. Going 100% tonight could boost them up a bit.Neckfansince71 wrote: Tue Nov 26, 2019 8:00 pmIs WIU #1 in free throw shooting for D1 at the present time?

Really impressed with the victory last night, not sure how good Ball St is, but still any victory on the road is a good win. They tried to give it away like they usually do when they have a big lead, but was able to hang on. I'm thinking Claar might be the key to the team this year. Hopefully this gives them some confidence and they continue the good play.
Ball State suffers 69-62 defeat at home against Western Illinois.
