Iowa's Peter Jok is currently shooting 92.2% from the FT line. The B1G season record (min. 100 FTAs) is 92.1%, set by Steve Alford in 1985.

 

[Suterman]

Please Peter, please break this record.

 

[Kurt Warner]

Man I hope he holds on and knocks pretty boy off the top.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Fran should sit him to keep the record safe

 

[IowaNiceHawk]

Please Peter, please break this record.

That would be simply too Awesome............especially as the
HAWKEYES win out vs the BadCheezerHeads and Penn

 

[perryhawk]

Come on Pete....Gotta believe every Hawkeye fan is on board with this! Take it away from a Hoosier!

 

[Kurt Warner]

It's amazing how a guy could coach the hawks for a number of years and not remotely be considered a hawk whatsoever.

 

[Douglas C. Neidermeyer]

Brady Ellingson just needs to get to the line 82 more times......

(currently 18-18)

Here are the Big Ten's all-time free throw shooters. Jok 92.2% this year (142 of 154), 88.4% career.

 

[HeRKeYHoPeFuL]

Needs to go 45-45 (exactly to get to 343-382) the rest of the way to set the career record.

Edit - was rounding to nearest 0.1%; this would give him the record on fewest attempts.

 

[The Sleeping Dog]

If the boys make a deep run in the BTT and then the NIT and Peter stays hot he might get that national record.

This record would make every Hawk fan happy!

 

[iowalawhawk]

Thats the second Daniel Horton record I've seen discussed today. I dont remember him being all that good.

Update: Jok was 3-of-3 tonight, upping his % to 92.4.

 

[El Simbolo]

For sake of big ten season record does postseason count? Or does he just need to not miss against PSU?

 

[El Simbolo]

How about he breaks the season record without breaking Chris Street's streak?

[athrilla20]

Doing some quick math, here's what he needs to do the rest of the way to break the single season record:

If he shoots 6 or fewer free throws the rest of the way, he can't miss any.
If he shoots between 7 and 19 FT, he can miss 1 and still break the record.
If he shoots between 20 and 31 FT, he can miss 2 and still break the record.
If he shoots 32 FT, he'll tie the record with 3 misses, and break it with 2 or fewer misses.
If he shoots between 33 and 45 FT, he can miss 3 and still break the record.

I'm not sure if tourney games count or not.

No Eric Snow on the list?

all games moving forward count

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

How did a spot up 3 point shooter like Alford get to shoot 600 free throws? Must have a lot of late intentional fouls with the lead,I guess.

 

[Bob Sanders Biceps]

No Eric Snow on the list?

I think he's right next to Ethan Happ on the list

Leistikow said on his radio show Wed night that Peter would have to go on a 12-13 pace for the remainder of the season.

Last night Jok was 3-3 so of course he needs to make his next 9 of 10. Wowza.

Can you imagine going to an empty gym right now and hitting 12 of 13?

Sarcasm???? or you are 12. He was in non-stop motion in Bob Knight offense. Very similar on how Iowa uses Jok....hopefully you knew that

Is that for the regular season and not the tournament? Alford did not have a tournament.

I am not sure how they compile stats. I know there is the non-conference, B1G season and total. But does the B1G separate out the tournament...?

Go Jok!

 

[El Simbolo]

They name all conference teams before the BTT, right?

Peter Jok now shooting 92.02% from the line this season. Alford's B1G mark is 92.06%. (Postseason counts, too.)

I guarantee you that guy never watched Pretty boy play one game.

 

[Franisdaman]

i head that Jok needs to go a 12-13 pace to break the record

Yesterday he was 5-6 so he need to make his next 7. No problem! Yikes!

 

[Franisdaman]

lets pass AlFraud today, against his alma mater
