    Mouser the new OC

    Its always nice to see some "new blood" with Campbell, as it happens so rarely, and Roehl seems like a great fit - a guy who has won a TON at NDSU and called some really prolific offenses

    Freshman hitting a hump in February, especially when playing as many minutes as he has, is entirely usual. You see it on the women's side with Addy as well. He just needs to work through it and keep shooting. You can see him trying more things the last couple games, with drives into the paint...

    The analytic sites seem to have a consensus around 19-20 points, so the line is underplaying that a bit, understandably so, predicting 20 point wins in conference games is a bit crazy. But the average margin of WVU's 6 road games is 19.5, so it's entirely realistic. And the 30+ point beatdowns...

    Is it something that automatically triggers in people where we get a Top 10 ranking and they feel the powerful urge to doomcast about next year's team and players leaving?

    We have a pretty good dataset for conference play now - and in conference only games, 5 different players have taken 30+ threes. Here's the current conference game percentages: Gilbert - 39% King - 37% Jones - 36% Milan - 29% Lipsey - 25% Tre was 1-6 from deep in the non-conf, and is 11-30 in...

    For a team that is as bad or worse at FT shooting than us - him going 11-12 when the game was on the line was everything

    very impressed with the effort last night. Houston blows people out at home because no one else comes back after that initial gut punch. They fought and scratched and clawed the whole game, but in the end Shead had a great game and that was that. In a lot of ways it was just a reversal of...

    It's the inconsistency that bothers me more. Where Lipsey gets hacked in the lane on one end, and then Cryer loses the ball with almost no contact and gets the call. I have no problem allowing a physical game if they could call it consistently.

    One of the "analytics guys", Evan Miyakawa, tracks 10-0 runs as "kill shots" - something Houston specializes in at home:

    Looking at their game logs - I was surprised to see that over their last 5 games, Houston has not gotten a "friendly whistle". They've been called for 18+ fouls a game vs 15 for their opponents, and have been outshot from the FT line 23+ to 16. Also looking at what makes them so tough at...

    I said this in another thread- but it bears repeating. In Ames we forced 16 turnovers and turned it over 12 times - but the points off turnovers we won 17-6. The 16 turnovers is the most Houston has had on the season by far - they had 12 in one scrub non-conference game and in conference play...
