Hard to argue with 14-28 from 3.

Seemed like an early quit by GA Tech

they took a million shots this summer, they should be good shooters by now. i applaud them.

 

that said, they have some athletes that can get to the rim

especially with illinois bricking every free throw

[Smack]

Illini clinch the tie (win), let's go O$U and get this thing outright.

Ut oh, PSU has it down to a 6 point deficit.

Coach K is such a rat faced [expletive].

Tie game in Cameron with 6 minutes left? Guess it's down to PSU

Ugh, it seems like this should have been an easy B1G victory this year. WTF happened to Wisconsin and MSU?

No doubt, hell even Nebraska helped us out. Wisconsin surprised me the most, at least MSU was on the road.

 

Amir Williams is really bad a free throw shooting.

[XZero771679666304]

OSU taking the piss. They had every opportunity to break it wide open in the first and now they're paying for not taking advantage.

 

 

But the story of this challenge will be MSU, Iowa, NW and Wisky losing to lesser teams.

[Smack]

hold on, Duke trying to [expletive] themselves here

[Smack]

O$U one ups them, oh well.

 

edit: and it was a blown call

Technically MSU was the underdog.

Sully, have we become godless chuckers?

 

yes, but not in the same sense that northwestern is

 

lol

[Thed Hoyerstein]

Creighton got smoked by Boise State at home? Wtf?

 

I hate sports.

 

Couldn't make a stop when it counted. Some 18 year old sophomore from Chicago scored 18 straight points for Boise. Yes, 18 straight points.

From Pomeroy, B10 teams ranked by average years of experience on the roster.

 

Illinois 2.15

Nebraska 2.01

Minnesota 1.91

Northwestern 1.75

Wisconsin 1.67

Ohio State 1.66

Indiana/Penn St. 1.62

Michigan St. 1.33

Iowa 1.28

Purdue 1.18

Michigan 1.00

 

I should've put these in context.

 

Michigan is the 328th youngest team in D1 out of 347 teams, and they're ranked in the Top 5. That's impressive. Purdue is the 307th youngest and Iowa 293rd.

 

I think IU might break the record next year though with most of this year's team going pro and 8 freshmen coming in. :D

[Smack]

Sully, have we become godless chuckers?

lol

 

Only three teams in D1 score a higher percentage of their total points off of 3-point shots.

 

1) Rice (45.3%)

2) Mount St. Mary's (43.4%)

3) Eastern Washington (43.0%)

4) Illinois (42.9%)

 

The next closest power conference team I see is Northwestern in 22nd place with 37.1% of their points coming from 3's.

 

Illinois was 187th last year with 26.6% of their scoring from 3-point shots.

The last time Illinois was in the top 50 in that stat, they went to the national title game.

yeah, but they're shooting 42% from 3 in part because they're getting open shots due to the threat of the dribble-drive.

 

and they have absolutely zero threats underneath.

Sure, you've got to play to your strengths. It just surprised me that they were all the way up to #4. Granted it's a really small sample size and I doubt you'll be #4 at the end of the year. Purdue went from 130th, to 39th last year in this stat, including shooting/hitting a school record amount of 3-pointers last year because JaJuan Johnson was gone. So far this year they're 271st in this stat. That's really concerning too... we're going to get zoned like a mo-fo this year.

ND thumping Kentucky. Guess you don't get an Anthony Davis every year Cal. IU would've kicked their ass this year.

Dixon is done at Mizzou. Hope Jabari Brown can live up to his recruiting hype.

I take no joy in Mike Brey doing well.
