Free throw numbers from our freshman

BryceC · 03-09-2008, 09:55 AM

Last five games -

Brackins 18/19, %94.7
Garrett 14/17, %82.4

And that includes the intentional miss by Garrett as well. Hopefully they can keep up the good FT% next year, that would be a big boost since they are the two that will probably be fouled the most next season.

These two have both been playing much better. For all folks who are worried about Jiri leaving, I think Brackins will be a good replacement as well as Alex Thompson. They both have to rebound better then Jiri.

Craig has really stepped up, and is playing great! All he needs is a little muscle.

Actually, they both are worse at rebounding than Jiri, considering he led the team in rebounding, defensive rebounding %, and offensive rebounding % the last two years. Thompson is not a great rebounder, and people have been complaining about Craig's rebounding all season.

I have no idea why people feel the need to bash Jiri.

Jiri is not one of the top rebounders in the Big 12. In fact he has to be near the bottem. He's been a decent offensive player and good defenively at times.

I'm not bashing him. I just think Alex and Craig will fill the void.

isucyfan, facts are not allowed on message boards.

I'll offically eat crow.

Thank you for the information.

I still think Craig will do the job next year.

I keep forgetting that.

I'll try to do better (worse?). I promise.

chrishull14 · 03-09-2008, 10:56 AM

It will be difficult for Brackins to get many rebounds when he is standing at the 3-point line or shooting fade aways.

The percentages are good...but the numbers are not. They need to get to the line a lot more.

Bobber · 03-09-2008, 10:59 AM

That will change. Some people forget how lousy Jiri looked his first few years.

bferin · 03-09-2008, 11:22 AM

On the radio they said like over the last 5 (?) games the Cyclones are shooting 87% from the free throw line as a team. Not bad.

Great stats Bryce.

Oh...and great stats as well, isucyfan! It's always nice when you can kill an illegitimate "argument" with some tasty facts. :)

The next time you post you should either
A. Look up the facts
B. Think before you type
