Free throws are important. Cliché? Maybe. True? Ask the Lakers. In their fourth straight loss of the season, they fouled Gannon 22 times and Gannon converted on 74% of the free throws that resulted. In the first half, Gannon shot 11-12 from the free throw line, which is 11 points and the Lakers were down by only seven at the end of the first half. So, theoretically, if even half of those fouls had not happened, the Lakers would have gone into the half with a possible tie. Most of Jaclyn Armstrong’s 19 bench points came from her 9-14 shooting at the free throw line.

Being pitted against their second undefeated team in a row, it would be a daunting task at best.
