Wofford center Kyler Filewich has adopted the Rick Barry underhand free throw and it is just not working out for the big guy. He’s got a 31% FT% on the season. And he’s 1-for-5 tonight

Must bring up the classic Wilt line. "They brought in a psychologist to talk me about free throws. At the end, I was still fucked up, but he could make 8 out of 10."
does our guy Kyler look good shooting the underhanded free throws? no
is it working? also no
am I rooting for him to make the NCAA Tournament for this reason: yes
Learning that Rick Barry taught him this is explaining the shoulders: anyone having to have a conversation with Rick Barry always look this stressed and uncomfortable
If you can’t consistently nail the wrist action it’s a harder shot than you think. I shot about 50% either way in high school, but I was going into foul and not to be fouled

The body language is compelling.
