"see how easy it is to score points"

Great quote from Willie Reese on free throw shooting:

FREE THROW WOES: Tech shot 20 for 30 (66.7 percent) from the foul line against Georgia, raising its season average to 61.6 percent.

Dickey made 6 of 7 from the line, Jarrett Jack was 5-for-6 and Luke Schenscher was 4-for-5.

"Coach (Willie) Reese leaned over and said, 'See how easy it is to score points when you're knocking down your free throws,'" Hewitt said.

Outside of Jack (16-of -17) and B.J. Elder (7-of-10), the Yellow Jackets' starters have struggled from the line. Will Bynum is 6-of-14 (42.9 percent), Isma'il Muhammad is 7-of-19 (36.8) and Schenscher is 8-of-14 (57.1) from the line this season.
