It's been well documented, but to see it in print is astounding.

Ohio forward Ivo Baltic has not attempted a free throw in any game this season or any game since at Buffalo on Feb. 22 of last season. It’s a streak now that has reached 573 minutes played.

Again, I ask....how is this possible? I believe Nick Goff has shot more ft's during this stretch.

Goff is 2-2 this season in 8 total minutes of playing time.

For one - OUr tallest player avoids the paint on the offensive side of the court. Avoiding the paint is essentially the same as avoiding physical play.

Does not go to the rim to score (except when on a fast break - then if has the ball guaranteed to pass if defender anywhere near to in front of him.....).

Does not go to the rim to rebound. 7 offensive rebounds in 9 games. Rico has 7 also - in 33% of the playing time. Cripes - DJ has 4.  6'9" - 4th year Senior - not a David vs Goliath type YTD schedule - only 7 offensive rebounds.

Also means your missing D assignments - example getting alley oop dunked on 2 consecutive set play possessions by Oakland.
