Capitalizing on luck is a real thing and I’ll just call you a not so smart person if you don’t think so.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I happen to think clutch (and most other narratives) is imaginative. Free throws are random events determined by the shooter's probability of success. Successful free throws in high leverage situations is luck.
If Xavier's luck stat was due to good coaching, they would be consistently lucky every season. They're all over the map though. A few years ago they were #317.
