College Basketball Power Rankings

Nice scouting report on Misery's Ricardo Ratliff:
I know, I ran a Ricardo Ratliffe shot chart last week. But I'm trotting it back out -- with his latest 30 Big 12 shot attempts added in -- because the "streaks" he's on are so impressive. Ratliffe is a dominant, high-efficiency big man who has, according to my video charting of all but one of his conference shots:

• Not made a shot with two feet outside the lane (and only attempted three of them).

• In 21 back-to-the-basket post-up* FGAs, shot a right-handed hook 21 times (making 11).

Ricardo knows what he likes, and does not deviate.
He also goes on to say that he has also pinned his man away from the basket and he obviously has not used the hook shot in those situations. These are only back to the basket situations.

Hopefully with this information the guards will be able to help down low and knock the ball loose when he goes for the RH hook as it is suceptible to disruption from the guard pinching down. Amazing he has been this successful when he only does one thing.
