They both ended up with the same total number of attempted free throws for the season. In the first half of the season Nicole had a better percentage than Brandy (70% vs 60%) and she also beat Brandy in the second half of the season (90% vs 80%).

And yet, Brandy won the bet! • How could this be possible!?
