One problem with my method, though, is that I've noticed that ETBU, when operating the stat program the conference uses, doesn't keep track of substitutions, so minutes played will be off, especially for ETBU's players...though I'd guess that the effect is lessened when they play elsewhere.

I did much the same thing with that formula when I got it, but I subbed minutes played for team games played. That way players whose production is largely due to playing time get brought down a little, while more productive players who get less time get a boost. Though, I was testing it on last year's numbers to see how it worked and hadn't run any from this year. Been too busy for that anyway.

And I think that POY should be separated a bit from team performance, since its a player award, not a team one.

In my opinion, McDonald belongs in that conversation too, even if he is a sophomore. If he can carry CUA now that Maxwell is done for the year, he deserves a look.
#364
Oh man...that bites. He's only six points short of 1000 for his career. Thanks for the info.

I doubt he can get a redshirt, he's played too many games this year.

I know it's late but...

CUA 90, LETU 68

To anyone at the game, what kind of injury was Maxwell's?

The interesting thing about CUA is that the overall team speed is great, but they did not do a good job of moving their feet.

That about sums up what I think about their defense, too. Thanks for the foul info too.

etbualum, when I saw the box score for that game I noticed a huge discrepancy in FTA. Now, I know ETBU was hammering it inside all night long, but I wanted to get your opinion of the officiating at the game.
#369
Well, could be that too, I suppose.

As far as your other point, I've been a student assistant in the sports information department for the last three semesters. While I want the teams to do well, and the institution to grow in size and prestige, one has to call a spade a spade. CUA doesn't get a free pass in my book just because they're going to be my alma mater. If anything, it means I'm harder on them.

Can someone who's seen both ETBU and MCM play tell me if Lori Lewis is the conference's next Tarra Richardson like I think she is from her stats? Girl got 25 points and 16 boards on us last night.

Sheesh...Coach Bonewitz sure can get those boys to score like nobody's business, and I like him, but he can't coach defense worth a lick. We haven't held anyone below 50% shooting so far this year.

That's not to take away from ETBU, though. If I remember right, going into last night their average margin was around -5 points, so its not as if they were 1-8 becuase they were getting blown out.

Well, considering that we lost by 1 on a buzzer-beater to the #12 team in NAIA Division II, I wouldn't be surprised. I do know the girls would play their hearts out though.

As far as the new campus goes...every member of the athletic department I've heard talk about the plans for the new gym are anything but happy. All they're planning on doing, so far as I can tell, is essentially rebuild what we have now on the new campus. I intend to try to arrange a between-semesters meeting to try to get them to ante up for better facilities all-around, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Don't forget Maxwell. :)

Tonight's game features the Preseason Players of the Year in the ASC in Maxwell and Isom...I wish our Web broadcast worked on Macs.
#374
The crazy thing is that, between MCM, HPU, HSU and UMHB, the four ASC West tourney spots are more or less sewn up already (unless one of the other four gets hot). I mean, we're getting slowly but surely getting better, but those four are a combined 16-1 in conference so far (if I remember right).

Yes, anytime you break a record as a sophomore it is impressive. But if the record is only 900 pts has CUA not had a basketball program for that long. Almost always someone has scored over a 1000pts.

McDonald will make the Top 10 as a sophomore. The record is 2000+ by DeBord with I think 7 over 1000+. Maxwell's got 970 going into tonight's game against ETBU, so he'll likely join the 1000-point club during this road trip.

Speaking of the CUA/ETBU game, I wonder if Isom can pull off 39 minutes in the game, considering how much we push the pace, but ya never know...
