November 19th - 20th MVC games

[uniftw]

Let's say a team takes 50 field goals in a game and 25 are three pointers.

If a team makes 38% of the threes that is 30 points.
A team makes 50 percent of their remaining shots that's 24-26 points

now a team takes 50 shots and 15 of them are three pointers

A team would have to shoot 70% from deep to match the point total.
Or if they still shot 38% from 3 they would have to shoot 76% from 2 to match the point total of 56 total points

It's about finding a balance and it's safe to say that Jake has proven over the last decade he knows the balance. Sure, some halfs or games are going to suck. More often than. It with shooters like Haldeman, Carlson, Morgan, etc... it's going to work.

Congratulations to UNI for a nice OC win over ASU, and an even nicer OC win over OU. Keep it up. Your OC RPI is promising.

Winning is winning. This is the most quality win in the conference so far. Could have gotten blown out, but this team doesn't give up and Carlson is a beast.

And of course we keep shooting 50% of our shots from 3. We have guys like Haldeman, Ashton, Morgan, Carlson, etc. These are all great 3 point shooters. And when you play a team like Oklahoma with bigger, better athletes it makes it more difficult to get near the rim. You just take what the defense gives you.

Now we get two shots at Xavier in a row. Hopefully we can take home the Tire Pros championship! Go Panthers!

Nice win. I saw some of the OU game but didn't see McCloud. I heard so much about him earlier, I was looking forward to see him but only saw Haldeman. What has J. McCloud done so far or does Haldeman look to be the main PG?

McCloud had a bad night, not horrible, but just off based on what OU was doing defensively. Jacobson decided to go with Haldeman as an extra shooting threat to try and open up the OU defense (also why Koch was off the floor, putting Carlson at the 5). Haldeman had made 5 threes in the first game, so OU would have been aware of him as a threat. He did a nice job on Woodard as well.

McCloud had 15 minutes, 2 points, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 3 rebounds, 1 steal (1-4 shooting)
Haldeman had 26 minutes, 8 points, 1 assist, 4 turnovers, 5 rebounds (3-7 shooting, 2-6 from 3)
Lohaus was also on the floor with Morgan as ball handlers down the stretch.

[DUBulldog]

Bulldogs picked up what will be one of their few victories of the season, beating Simpson 76-61.

DU shot very poorly and point guard play from 'Graham Woodward was atrocious. If Drake plays like this against any D1 school, will get blown out.

[Rambler63]

Loyola beats Oral Roberts 78-53. They'll face the winner of the Montana-Washington State game on Monday.

[mule]

UE beats Morehead State 69-56. Jaylon Brown 25 pts. Ryan Taylor 13 pts. 20 pts and 8 rebounds from UE's 3-headed monster in the middle. UE shot 79% in the 2nd half to expand on a 4 point half time lead.

[MSUDuo]

It's obviously early but the Valley has crawled its way out of the depths of the RPI. Up to #4 now. Just need to keep winning.

UNI and WSU play today, let's pick up 2 more wins!

[Aargh]

Maryland Eastern Shore wasn't considered to be much of a contest, but 62 points in the first half?

Shox - 62
MES - 37

Gonna hurt WSU's defensive points per game stats.
