Lucas: Basketball Mailbag Extra

Posted Mar 8, 2007

The most free throws ever attempted by a Tar Heel in a season is Lennie Rosenbluth's mark of 376 set during the 1957 season. That's probably out of reach, but Hansbrough has a good chance at moving past Pete Brennan (who shot 291 free throws in 1958) onto second place on that list. Hansbrough's freshman season already occupies eighth place--now ninth after this year's efforts--on the career list. (Tar Heel Blue)
