Message: [QUOTE="The Shot, post: 3872700, member: 9001"] I don’t really want to turn this thread into a shouting match but if you are not buying [USER=6696]@husky429[/USER] ’s argument which is pretty convincing let’s focus on yours. You seem to be under the impression that great teams don’t allow great players to score. The numbers do not bear this out. Look at Gonzaga who we probably agree is the consensus top team. Below are the numbers. This is is just their first 13 games because I’ve got to go zoom with the in-laws. Kansas - Marcus Garrett 22 points Auburn - Allen Flanigan 20 points West Virginia - Derek Culver 18 points Iowa - Luka Garza 30 points; Joe Weiskamp 20 points Northwestern State - Carvell Teasett 16 points Northwestern State - Jairus Roberson 15 points Virginia - Kihei Clark 19 points Northern Arizona - Cameron Shelton 20 points Dixie State - Cameron Gooden 20 points SF State - Jamaree Bouyea 18 points BYU - Caleb Lohner 13 points Portland - Ahmed Ali 20 points Pepperdine - Kessler Edwards 14 points Through their first 13 games 7 players scored 20 or more points against them. It’s pretty clear that being able to score against them is isn’t particularly difficult, beating them is. In Bouknight’s worst game he manages to get 20 so I have no doubt that he’d get similar numbers against Gonzaga. [/QUOTE]
