WBB vs. Oklahoma State @ Hilton 2/5/2020

It was amazing and odd. If I wasn't too lazy I'd go back and count the TO's in the 4th. After watching Johnson grab bench after every TO her first two years to see a freshman left in with that happening was something I thought I'd never see here even with MEM being a coaches fav.

BTW, not dissin' MEM, she is one of my favs right now and hard to not like her on the court. She's not a PG though. Has decent to good passing for a 2 but she's not a ballhandler PG (IMHO). She could be one of those smaller school players that makes a big jump her sopomore year. She's already exceeded my expectations for a freshman.

A testimony as to how bad the not Gray/Macks are they turned down wide open three after wide open three. Guessing they just can't make them and they know it and we know it and we could just help on Gray. Can't decide if Gray is a ball hog or her mates are awful. Thinking it is maybe 25/75. MEM, Camber, Johnson would love to be left that open.

Gray and Mack have accounted for 47.64% of their total shots, the other 13 players on the roster have accounted for 53%. Gray is a ball hog, she has taken 140 more shots than Mack.

This immediately made me think of former OSU player Andrea Riley,

2019-20: 414 Gray FGA / 1444 Team FGA = 28.7% of the team's FGA
2009-10: 833 Riley FGA / 2240 Team FGA = 37.2% of the team's FGA

(For comparison, Joens is at 24.9% this season.)

Gray has some work to do. She is just a junior though, and Riley had "only" 31.2% of her team's FGA as a junior.

To Riley's credit, she also had 220 of her team's 413 assists in 09-10.

Unrelated weird stat I saw while looking at ISU's stats this year:

We have five players who have attempted between 73 and 97 3-pointers (next highest is 22 from Wise). Those five are all shooting between 36.5% and 37.9% behind the arc. We essentially have five identical three-point shooters on this team:
Joens 27-73 -- 37.0%
Scott 36-97 -- 37.1%
MEM 31-85 -- 36.5%
Johnson 31-83 -- 37.3%
Camber 36-95 -- 37.9%

Camber 36-95 -- 37.9%

That's kinda crazy close and pretty decent marks.

In conference play all but Rae are shooting well over 40% and she's still at a decent 36%. They've been hot from three.
