In the home win over St. Bonaventure, Jalen Adams made a living doing that very thing down the stretch. He finished 15-17 on free throws, with a significant number coming down the stretch as he continued driving into the lane and into defenders, essentially daring the officials to not call what they'd consistently been calling all game.
