That's our FTA differential in the Big East. And considering we're often ahead in the closing 2 minutes, that number should be even more surprising.
The hilarious idea that we're getting bailed out on calls is starting to get annoying.
To give you a comparison using the real king of calls (Duke), they are +67 in three fewer conference games.

We are an offensively patient team and we are defensively aggressive. Those two things together make it unlikely that we are going to attempt more FTs than our opponents.

You think that is a scary stat ? Check Ucon! They have shot less Free Throws than their opponents 1 time ! Let me repeat 1 time ! Gonzaga shot one more free throw than them!

Interesting stat. People seem to remember ONLY the last-second calls that favor us, not calls during the rest of the game (which obviously have mostly favored the opposition). Curtis Shaw, anyone?

The hilarious idea that we're getting bailed out on calls is starting to get annoying. Oh come on, you don't see the humor in the Marquette fans who pulled the "See, Louisville fans even say it was goaltending! It must be true!" routine, a la Nova fans with Notre Dame after their game against us. I'll throw it out there--in the entire season of our end of game plays, the only call an official might have blown was the goaltend against UConn on Ewing's basket/almost travel (that was John Cahill btw, same official who blew the whistle on James). Every other call was correct--Dominic James' foul being the least debatable of the bunch. Nothing's stopping Big East coaches from telling their players to not foul in asinine situations.
