So weird little stat about opponent FT% vs AU

In 18 games vs SEC opponents

80+% - 8 games (9 if you want to round 79.4% MSU up)
85+% - 5 games


12/18 games, opponents shot better than season FT% avg

Interesting.

Possible explanations:
1) Opposing players/coaches are smarter and goad our freshmen into fouling their best FT shooters
2) SEC officials hate Pearl and intentionally call every touch on opposing teams good FT shooters
3) dumb luck. Even the bad shooters hit FT against us. Auburn basketball is cursed

Needs analysis to see if the whole team shoots well or if the high % shooters get more FT than normal.
