It is a week before our next game. I took a little time to look at our YTD stats. Here are some interesting stats I found.

10 players are averaging double digit minutes so far. It would have been 11, except an early year injury slowed Blake Jenkins and he's a tenth of a minute short or averaging 10 minutes.

11 of our players are averaging 4 points a game or more.

We're shooting 37% from 3 point range early in the year. I haven't looked up past years, but I know from the stands it always seems like we are a little cool from long range early in the year. Jordan Campbell is the most accurate so far at 44% and Ian Clark is at 41%. Our power forward, Trevor Noack, is 9 of 23 for 37%.

One of my favorite stats this year is our FTs. The last couple of years we have slacked a little from the charity stripe. This year, we are hitting them at 76%. A huge surprise that our best FT shooter is Scott Saunders. Considering those who have had at least 10 FTs or more, Scott is averaging 83% on 35 of 42. Ian Clark and Jon House are both at 80%.

Basketball State is an excellent place to review statistics. I think you get 7-10 free page views in a day. Check out all of Belmont's stats, State Ranking (pretty accurate), and RPI. We are looking pretty good and top the league right now in terms of efficiency.
