About Free Throw Challenge

Pick the Cyclones or Hawkeyes, step up to the free-throw line, and score as many points as you can in sixty seconds. The hoop swings from side to side, so timing matters.

Every basket starts at two points. Make three in a row and the streak bonus raises each basket to three points until you miss. Play for free on CycloneState.com with a keyboard, mouse, or touch screen.

Good to know.

How do I shoot?

Press Space, click the court, or tap it on a touch screen. Only one ball can be in the air at a time.

Does choosing a team change the difficulty?

No. Your choice changes the shooter’s colors and the crowd. Both teams use the same shooting mechanics.

How does the streak bonus work?

The first two consecutive baskets are worth two points each. The third and every following basket are worth three until you miss, which resets the streak.

Where can I learn the timing?

The player manual explains the moving hoop, shot timing, scoring, and controls. You can also open How to Play inside the game.
