Interesting data.

Here are some other stats that stood out to me upon examination -- taking these into account, you would have thought we'd have a much better season:

[LIST]
[*]We shot 38% from three point range this year, which is really impressive.  We had two players hit better than 40% of their three point attempts -- Gillon at 41.9% and White at 40.3%.  Lydon just missed the cut at 39.5%.  Battle was fourth with a respectable 36.6%.
[/LIST]

[LIST]
[*]Team shot 74% from the free throw line.  That's got to be some kind of team record.  And again, we had a big four leading the way.  Three guys shot well over 80%.  Gillon shot 86%, White shot 83.7%, barely edging out Lydon at 83.6%, with Battle shooting an impressive 79.8%.  What a weapon being able to hit FTs was for us this year -- a welcome change.
[/LIST]

[LIST]
[*]Gillon tallied 184 assists [tied for 15th best in program history for single season], against 72 turnovers -- a 2.5 : 1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
[/LIST]

[LIST]
[*]As a team, we only had 160 blocks for the season--one of the many disappointing aspects of our team defense..  Lydon led the way with a  paltry 4.  TT had 33 and Roberson had 27.  Surprisingly, Chukwu had 14 in only 7 games.  Level of competition was probably a factor, but hope he can replicate that next year.
