If you have Memphis winning it all this year in your NCAA Tournament bracket, I feel sorry for you, because that won't be happening. As talented as the Tigers are, their free throw shooting is ridiculously horrible. Well, you already know that, but how horrible exactly is it?

It's beyond horrible. For the season the Tigers are shooting 59.2% from the charity stripe, which is almost impossible to comprehend.

This of course leads to the question of has any team with a free throw percentage that low ever won the NCAA Tournament? The answer is no.

The average team free throw percentage for the past ten National Champs sits at 70.4. Of those ten teams only one shot less than 68 percent as a whole, the 2004 UConn Huskies shot 62.3 percent. But as poor as some of those big men were at the line (Emeka Okafor and Charlie Villanueva), when the game was on the line UConn team had one guy they could count on to close it out: Ben Gordon (83 percent). Memphis doesn't have anyone like that. Their top two free throw shooters (in attempts and percentage) are Chris Douglas-Roberts and Derrick Rose at 68%. Those are guards shooting free throws like an injured power forward.

But let's get in to some even more hilarious numbers. Memphis has four players that get significant time who don't even shoot 58% from the line. They are Joey Dorsey (an unreal 39.7% from the line), Antonio Anderson (56.6%), Willie Kemp (57%), and Andre Allen (40.6%). Even worse, all those guys except for Dorsey are GUARDS. Are you freaking kidding me?!

Never was Memphis's ineptitude at the line more apparent than on Sunday against Mississippi State. Memphis shot an unreal 46% from the line, going 15 of 32.

I know people are mocking Calipari, who said that free throws aren't important. But Calipari knows how important they are, he's just trying to deflect the criticism and give his team confidence.

But in reality, it's going to end real soon for Memphis. And it's going to be because of free throws.
