Some impressive numbers

[Eric15]

Three guys had extremely impressive statistical games. Two of ours and one of theirs.

Marek scored 20 points on only 6 shot attempts. That is insanely efficient.

Moses Wright had 33 and 10 on 14-17 shooting. One of the better games by an opponents big man in Dome history.

And Eli went for 20/7/7 which has to be fairly rare in SU history.

Marek was our Free Throw Hero!

College Basketball Reference says no SU player has done that since the 2010-2011 season where their database starts.

Hughes put up 21/6/9 at Georgetown this year
Gbinije put up 24/6/8 against CS Long Beach in 2014
Scoop put up 23/6/6 against NC State in 2010

Triche did the same against Montana in 2013

I wonder how many Derrick and Billy had

OK, let’s point out a positive where we can.

This team can knock them down from the line.

Melo didn't go 20/7/7 in the title game?

Nice memory!

Most impressive play? I'll go with Girard's pass on the break to Dolezaj for the layup to put SU up by 3 if I remember correctly. The layup was pretty too. But go back and watch that pass. It perfectly threaded the needle between two GT defenders. That was a really well-defended break and Dolezaj still got the points.

There are some crazy things in that box score.

That little interior shuffle pass from Dolemite to Sid for a layup with a few minutes left was also pretty sick. I don't think the ball got 1 foot off the floor between them. GT also had some nice interior passing, great game, great effort, great finish.

It came shortly after the Dome ran the "assist of the game" promo (and obviously was better than whatever they selected).

That's an insanely good pull if you just had that one locked in the memory banks.

The stat that is not in there is that Kansas was more efficient from the free throw line than SU.

It looked to me like Dolezaj changed his pivot foot on that one but the GT defenders shielded a full view from the cameras. I'll take it in any case.
Dolezaj has got great awareness of his teammates and really good hands for a big man. The Girard to Dolezaj layup was also made possible by a head's up flip to Bourama when Marek grabbed the loose ball right on the baseline.

MD seems to be the only guy who can successfully pass to Sid.

Credit to our all PG coaching staff for the big men’s chemistry!

They are free throws if you make them and foul shots if you don't.

Not a chance, I pulled it from college basketball reference's play index tool which is really great for querying cbb data

 

[Newhouser]

That JG3 pass was difficult. Why he went over the head rather than more traditional chest pass would be interesting. Marek catching it, gathering, and finishing was also very impressive.

It was a bounce pass. Go to the 6:30 mark:

Yeah I know but he threw it from over his head.

Yeah I know but he threw it from over his head.

That might have been easier to handle as Marek didn't have to reach down for it.

Gotcha. And I'm with you on CBR's reference tools. They are amazing. There are a few others out there as well that do a really good job with flexibly defined "clutch points" definitions, etc. It's been a long time coming for more people to use the depth of available stats and data syrfan.com.

Good stuff...glad you pulled that.
