1 MVC game tonight- Evansville at North Carolina

[Bradleyguy10]

couldn't review even the main facts about Evansville.

or the MVC in general....

The color guy talked briefly about the valley, and he said how he was impressed with Wichita State when he saw them earlier in the year, and he said-
"and they were picked anywhere from 9th to 11th in the Missouri Valley"!

I looked, but I couldn't find anyone who picked them 11th.

Boy, you talk about a down year. Finishing 11th in a 10 team league would probably get a coach fired.

[Dubl R 1]

Yeah, maybe. Tough to say that too because there's so many options on a UNC team. Hersey, I imagine, was the number one scoring option for Bradley. On the other hand, a team with tons of talent like UNC doesn't have just one player who can rack up the points.

I don't know the other players well, but Oscar Robertson would probably be #1 if they counted his freshmen year. I believe in his time freshmen were on the JV team, and the points in the record books are only include varisty scores.

Aren't the Pistol's totals a 3 year period too? or am I wrong on that?

[tornado]

yes they are just 3-year totals, pretty impressive, but he averaged 44 pts per game

"He is still the all-time leading NCAA Division I scorer with 3,667 points scored
and an average of 44.2 points per game. He accomplished this without the benefit of a three-point line and despite the fact that NCAA rules prohibited him
from playing on the varsity team as a freshman."

Ah, okay. didn't realize Maravich's scores were also only a three year period. Pretty scary then.

One other comment about Pistol Pete......

"Years later .........coach Dale Brown charted every college game Maravich played,
taking into consideration all shots he took. The coach calculated that at the NCAA rule
of a three-point line at 19-foot, 9-inches from the rim, Maravich would have averaged
thirteen 3-point scores per game, which would have given the player a career average of 57 points per game"
