- Huntington
University sophomore guard, Tyler Shively, set a new NAIA Division
II national record by hitting 70 consecutive free throws between
January 2 and November 25, 2008. The streak spanned 20 games and
came to an end against Judson University on Saturday, November 29,
2008. The previous NAIA Division II record held by Dan Rough of
Whitman College (Wash.) was 60 and was set between December 15, 1995
and January 31, 1997.
Shively (Columbia
City, Indiana, Columbia City High School) tied Rough’s 11-year mark
when he went 6-6 at the stripe on November 22 against St. Xavier
University. He then shattered the record with a 10-10 performance
in an 86-76 Forester win over Olivet Nazarene University on November
25th. Shively, who led NAIA Division II in free throw shooting
percentage at 91.8% last season, will be looking to start a new
streak on his next trip to the line.
