Through the first three games of the season, free throws looked like a major weakness. Michigan State was shooting just 67 percent from the line, up from sub-65 percent after a horrible 24-for-37 showing in the opener against Colgate. The team improved here over the next few games, bringing that percentage up to 70.3% over the first seven games. Although it improved, that number would have ranked No. 247 nationally a year ago. That’s unacceptable for a Tom Izzo-coached team.
