Free throws have been anything but easy this season for the UCLA men's basketball team.
In fact, they've been quite costly.
The Bruins rank last in the Pacific-10 Conference in free-throw shooting percentage at a .613 clip, after hitting .724 percent last season.
The foul shooting struggles have left the players and the coaches frustrated, as even extensive work in practice - as much as 200 free throws in a day for some players - has not translated to success in the games.
"I don't have an answer for that, that's not an easy answer," senior forward James Keefe said. "We work on it a lot in practice. I don't think we have bad shooters on this team. A lot of the guys that are missing are confident when they go up to the line. I don't know what it is - I think it's just something that will come around."
