Free-throw shooting did UWM in
A downcast Pearl haunted by numbers[/color]

A sleepless night and a day later, Bruce Pearl had the opportunity to digest the numbers from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's 65-62 loss to Illinois-Chicago on Tuesday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.
And they were no more palatable than they were the night before.
But the numbers that were particularly galling to the coach were those that reflected UWM's performance at the free-throw line: 20 attempts, 8 made.
Those numbers don't get the job done in a rec league, let alone when you are playing for an NCAA Tournament bid.
