Message: [QUOTE="CheshireCat, post: 4490481, member: 11800"] Agreed. You don't draw a lot of fouls taking jump hooks and pirouette moves underneath the rim for protection. You probably see more fouls on these bigs on the floor trying to establish position. Often times bigs help their teams get into the bonus this way, but arent the ones ultimately shooting the free throws. Aside from him being a superior 3pt shooter, Dixon is probably the closest thing to Sanogo in the Big East? Also way down the list. Where did his numbers get a bump up? Mismatches on switches or against UCONN, backing down guys in isolation because Hurley opted to let him do that vs. doubling. Short of that, he has been to the line once in 3 other games. The formula thus far has been to double Sanogo and let Jackson shoot 3s. Jackson successful against Nova, not so much vs Xavier and PC. I also pointed out to our "stats team" that the big east season is still very young. It would be interesting to look at the same numbers over the course of last FULL Big East season? Because a big part of drawing fouls is skill and style of play, some teams are going to have more personnel that are better at it than others. Because of these large disparities between players, what does it look like when you take the best and worst players numbers out from each team. [/QUOTE]
