With Hubert Davis taking over the reins of the North Carolina basketball program and bringing in Jeff Lebo as an assistant, both of whom are top-20 all time at UNC in career free throw percentage, it stands to reason that the Tar Heels would shoot a high free throw percentage as a team under their watchful eyes.

Indeed, the 2021-22 Tar Heels shot the second-highest team free throw percentage in Carolina history, finishing at 76.4%. The only team in Carolina history to shoot a higher percentage is the 1983-84 Tar Heels, who hit 78.3% of their free throws. Part of the reason for UNC’s success last season is that three of the starters – Leaky Black, Caleb Love, and RJ Davis all shot over 80% from the line.

This week’s Tuesday Trivia question: There are six Tar Heels who have made 87% or more of their free throws in a single season (minimum 50 makes). Who are they?

The answer:

6. Darrell Elston | 1973-74 | 87.1% (81-93)

5. Steve Hale | 1984-85 | 87.6% (85-97)

4. Marcus Paige | 2013-14 | 87.7% (128-146)

3. Jeff Lebo | 1987-88 | 87.8% (86-98)

2. Joel Berry | 2017-18 | 89.3% (108-121)

1. Shammond Williams | 1997-98 | 91.1% (133-146)
