UConn just doesn't commit fouls. On the season, they have been whistled for fouls 12.94 times per game. That's five and a half fewer than the national average (18.43), and one and a half fewer than the next team on the list (Central Connecticut State, 14.63). The projected differential in free throws accounts for the entirety of UConn's advantage over the Boilermakers.
