Most misleading stat in the KU box score

[Cycsk]

What do you think is the most misleading stat in the box score for the KU game? What might you miss unless you looked more closely at the box score or actually watched the game?

Here are some that come to mind.

1. ISU making 18 3's . . . but Thomas having none.
2. Solomon Young going 0 for 1 FG and having only 1 point . . . but having a fantastic presence on both ends.
3. Mason having a career best game in scoring . . . but missing the shot for the win, even with a push-off.
4. ISU having only 3 rebounds in the first half and being outrebounded 45 to 25 . . . but getting boards at the end.
5. Mason going 10 for 12 from the line . . . but missing 2 of his last 4.

"at Lawrence, Kan. (Allen Fieldhouse)"...but ISU won.

Definitely 2.

That KU used 8 players at a time but we beat them only using 5 at a time.

The refs counted Jackson's 3.

I'd have to re-watch...did the commentators even clarify that they had indeed counted it?

Yes, they did

I was watching at a bar in Phoenix, and the audio was on another game. I was LOSING MY MIND because I didn't know if we were up four or up three.

The Thomas one blows my mind, especially given his last 3 games. If you'd told me that we'd hit 18 and that Matt wouldn't have any, it wouldn't have seemed possible.

Definitely the 3's without Matt making one. Especially since he has been shooting so well lately. And I had made a comment in the last game about how Deonte hadn't made a 3 in quite a while.

Honestly, that's why I am less likely to dismiss the 3 point shooting as some hugely unusual factor.

Same here. We were in a bar on our way to Chicago and had no audio. They kept switching the score between it being a 3 or a 2 on their possession. We were freaking out.

Two forced missed free throws by 4 or 5 ISU jackasses in the crowd. Well done.

Lack of stats by Young vs the impact he had on the game. I just love the fact he will get more playing time - his learning curve is almost straight up and he will be so much better by the time the NCAAs come around!

Solomon Young's box score. He might as well have gone 10 and 10 for the difference he made in the game.

 

[State43]

It's such a great feeling when you have one guy under the hoop and he gets the rebound surrounded by about 4 players from the other team. Hats off to young for sure but MT not making any 3s while the team hits 18 is mind blowing

 

[Stormin]

Solomon Young played great. But you wouldn't know it by looking at the box score.

No mention of KU hair styles in box score....they have very nice hair. I mean, I would be doing that stuff with my hair too when I wasn't vandalizing cars or slapping people.

Still working on the dunk stat. as I re-watch game, but I am guessing zero this game and 12 for the year.

 

[cygrads]

I just liked that even when Young didn't get a rebound he was in there fighting for it and making KU work to get the rebound.

Not only that, he should get half credit for some of our other rebounds as he had his guy pinned and allowed the secondary rebounder to get it.

Crap, another fun activity I'll have to be giving up!
