Bucking the Trend

Bucknell, the same team that made 1 out of 17 free throws in their opener against Michigan St., made 9 out of 9 tonight against Northwestern. They've made 72% in their three games since the disaster. However, they haven't won yet.

On the Radar: Troy St.

This is my new feature "On the Radar" where I profile a good team that the cool people aren't talking about. I guess it should really be "Under the Radar" then, but I'm not going to change. Today's team is Troy St. who has a respectable loss to LSU and wins over San Diego St. and Oakwood College (who I think is NAIA). What's cool about the men of Troy is that not only have they shot more 3's than 2's this year, which is rare in itself, but they are almost shooting better from 3 (51% from 2, 47% from 3). So they are getting almost a point a half on every three point attempt, compared with about one point on 2's. Even if you consider the extra points that come with 2's in the form of trips to the line, there is no way their 2 point production is close to their 3 point production. This suggests that Troy isn't shooting enough 3's. Their schedule is pathetic the rest of the way, what with the Atlantic Sun making their members play 20 conference games, so don't be looking for them on the tube anytime soon.

Lethal Weapons 3 Part 2

We all know Kansas will be #1 when the new poll is released. I am curious about how the #1 votes will be distributed. Based only on what's happened this season, Georgia Tech deserves some consideration. However seeing as how they got exactly zero votes in the previous poll, I doubt any sportwriter is going to swallow his/her pride and put the Jackets at #1 when they didn't event think they were a top 25 team the week before.
