The Big Sky currently has 3 women's teams in the top 20 nationally in free-throw percentage (Idaho State leads the nation). 7 BSC teams rank in top 50. 8 of the 9 teams rank in the top 75. Even the worst free-throw shooting team—NAU—ranks in the top half nationally. I haven't looked at every other conference's free-throw shooting breakdown, but I would guess the Big Sky is easily the best in this stat. Here are the rankings (326 teams are ranked):
      • 1. Idaho St. (83.3%)
        17. Montana (76.5%)
        19. Northern Colorado (76.4%)
        40. Montana St. (74.2%)
        46. Weber St. (73.9%)
        48. Eastern Washington (73.7%)
        49. Sacramento St. (73.6%)
        75. Portland St. (71.8%)
        134. Northern Arizona (69.4%)

Collectively, the Big Sky women shoot 74.9% from the line.
