Heath Earns NCAA Division II Statistical Championship for Free Throw Percentage
HOUGHTON, Mich. – Michigan Tech men's basketball guard Bryan Heath (Taylor Ridge, Ill.) has been awarded the 2015-16 NCAA Division II statistical championship for free throw percentage.
Heath finished the season with a 93.3 percent success rate on free throws (97-104), good for the second-best mark in Tech history and the highest percentage by a Husky since Austin Armga hit on 92.4 percent of his attempts in 2012-13.
The 6-foot-4 freshman started all 26 games for the Huskies this winter and averaged 30.5 minutes while ranking second on the team in points with 338.
Heath and Michigan Tech will look to return to the NCAA tournament in 2016-17, a feat the program has accomplished three times over the past four seasons and eight times overall during the Kevin Luke era.
