THE 1ST 8-MINUTE SAGA

For the last 4 games (SIUE, N. Dakota, GCU, Nevada):

% of Total Shots Taken from 3
57% 1st 8 minutes
32% Final 32 minutes

3-Pt Shooting Pct.
- 1st 8 Minutes 20%
- Final 32 Minutes 40%

Score Differential
- 1st 8 Minutes - Outscored by all 4 opponents by 25 points collectively (6 pts/game)
- Final 32 Minutes - Outscored opponents by 31 points collectively (+46 for 3 W's; -15 for 1 loss)

Take Away: Stop jacking up so many 3's in the first 8 minutes (especially early in the shot clock).

Drake 0-1 Cincinnati.
Loyola 0-1 USF.

And the MVC went 0-5 yesterday.  Need some teams to step it up if the conference wants to get the recognition they deserve.

Not only that, but averaging 23.5 ppg.  For those looking way ahead, Javon would need to average a little over 20 ppg (depending on # of games played) over his last three seasons to get close to Alec's record.  His improvement in shooting/scoring this year has been remarkable.

Marcus Liberty worked with Javon this summer and put him on a brutal shooting regimen.

Unlike a year ago, no one to date has been able to stop Javon, or even slow him down much. Even more, he has demonstrated that he can take a game over at crucial times and carry the team across the finish line. He is a very dangerous player.

Before we talk about breaking Alec's record, let's just enjoy this season.  Players can enter the transfer portal as many times as they want, and if he does it after this season, all of the big boys will be knocking on his door this time.
"Don't mess with Texas"

talksalot

so with today's win over CMU, our rpi (yes, I know THAT)

Valpo is now rated #63. meaning:

we are the highest rated team on Charlotte's schedule.

except for their game with #61 Texas, we are the highest rated team on high point schedule.

we are the highest rated non-conference team on Arkansas schedule.and they just lost at Western Kentucky.

Yes, and he would have to sit out a year.  It's the following year once he graduates that I would be worried about.

Speaking of graduating, here's to hoping this team does well on their finals.  We hardly need more academic ineligibility after Burton and Adekoya (sorta).

Looking at that image you'd think Valpo LOST by 22... This team is hard to figure out... Are they good or not?

nullOn what source was Matt relying upon to state in the interview that Valpo had the number one offense in the country coming into that game? I haven't read, heard, or seen that anywhere and I look at several sources.

Holding a team 35 points below their average is insane.  Coming into the game, CMU had scored 84 or more in 7 of 9 games, including games of 134, 115, 106 and 102.  Wow!  :o

Yeah I originally thought he was referring to Valpo. So I removed post when I realized he was referring to CMU.

Quote from: talksalot on December 08, 2019, 09:16:55 PMexcept for their game with #61 Texas, we are the highest rated team on high point schedule.

So Valpo is the second Highest Point on High Point's schedule although Texas is the Highest Point on High Point's schedule as far as RPI ranking. It's really good to be near High Point's nearest High Point.  ;) :) ;D

Only Lindner and Jones played without the 3 point basket.  Bruce's numbers will never be matched.

A couple of games back Matt said "...it never pays to get too high or too low in this business."  All 4 look as expressionless as the Crusader mascot.
