Basketball fans know this deal.
When your opponent is shooting free throws, you do whatever it takes, within reason, to make your player miss.
Oakland University fans have taken this strategy to a whole new level.

One of those fans also had clippers, and one of them actually cut his hair during the game to get clippers for his team.
As Cleveland State’s Tevin Smith stood at the free throw line with a 19-point lead, a man pulled out his clippers and one of the fans got a shaved head.
Smith took the first shot but missed the second.

The rest of the shirtless men also had shaved heads. So who knows if this was happening throughout the entire game? Either way, it was interesting to watch.
If it was a strategy of distraction throughout the game, it worked very well. Oakland’s players knocked down all 23 of their free throws, while the Vikings made just 8 of 13 (61.5%) from the line.
