Wash U shot 20 FTs in the 4th quarter.
Brandeis, which had 0 FT attempts in the 1st Q, shot 33 in the 4th Q!

Wash U made 35-42 from the charity stripe for the game; Brandeis made 29-47 from the free throw line.  The 92 points scored by Brandeis are the most ever points scored by Brandeis against Wash U in a single game-- shattering the old mark by at least 20 points.

Recaps of last night's Brandeis win from both perspectives:

Brandeis full story:  Brandeis women garner second-ever win in St. Louis, 92-84.

Wash U full story: Trouble from downtown plagues Wash U in loss to Brandeis

[deiscanton]

The second biggest story last night in the UAA:

Chicago defense holds Kaitlyn Read of NYU without a field goal.  Read only scored 3-4 from the charity stripe last night, but did not make a single basket.  Kaitlyn Read ended up with just 3 points.

Another story from the Brandeis v Wash U game:

The 89 free throw attempts combined by both Brandeis (29-47) and Wash U (35-42) last night is a new UAA single game record.

The old record of free throw attempts by both teams combined in a UAA game was 83-- Wash U (29-35) v NYU (37-48) previously set on February 27, 1997.

The DIII record for most free throw attempts by both teams combined in a single game is 124-- William Peace (66) v NC Wesleyan (58) set on December 1, 2014.

[deiscanton]

I was looking at the box score from the USA South conf game on December 1, 2014 between NC Wesleyan and William Peace, where 124 free throws were attempted.

The NCAA has a game from 1997 between UW-Stout and Buffalo State as the listed record for most personal fouls--both teams at 68.

However, in the game from 2014, NC Wesleyan and William Peace combined for 85 personal fouls called.   77 personal fouls were called in regulation, with 8 called in the overtime period.  NC Wesleyan was called for 46 fouls, 43 of them in regulation-- while William Peace was called for 39 fouls, 34 of them in regulation.

An interesting tidbit which the NCAA somehow did not put in their 2017-18 DIII Women's Basketball Record Book. 

Anyway, 67 fouls called in Brandeis at Wash U on Friday is still a lot of fouls!😅
