Louisville intramural player imitates Chinanu Onuaku's granny style free throw
With no game until Wednesday, the Louisville men's basketball team decided to become fans for an evening.
According to Mike Rutherford of CardChronicle.com, the Cardinals attended an intramural game on Monday night to support one of the team's managers. The fan section became exuberant when one of the players did his best imitation of Chinanu Onuaku when he went to the free throw line.

Onuaku, the Louisville sophomore, was a 47 percent free throw shooter last season.
Needing to improve from the line, Onuaku decided to learn to shoot his free throws underhanded, just like Hall of Famer Rick Barry. He unveiled his new form this summer playing for USA Basketball's U19 team in the FIBA World Championships in Greece.
The granny style shot has increased his free throw percentage to 59 percent this season.
