How can we forget Jack Moore, 446-495 from the line (.901) 1979-1982....

from http://www.college-basketball-tickets.net/nebraska_corn_huskers/history.htm

"It was the late Jack Moore, a 5-10 playmaker from Muncie, Ind., who 
captured the hearts of Nebraska fans from 1980 through 1982. Moore earned 
All-Big Eight honors in 1982, when he won the Naismith Award, given 
annually to the nation's top player under 6-feet feet tall. The first 
three-time academic All-Big Eight pick in Nebraska history, Moore scored 
1,204 points and hit .901 from the free throw line during his career."

It was my last year living in Lincoln...  how long ago.

I'm pretty sure I was at the game on 2/10/82 when he made 15/15 FTs - 
still a Husker record for most FTs in a game without a miss.  He made 39 
consecutive FTs from 1/27/82 to 2/15/82, also a Husker record.
