I am closing the stat books on this past season and here awe a few notes or superlatives. I'll add more as I go along.
Team stats
36 is the most number of games played, tied with the 1985-86 year.
UAB took 2042 shots this year, which is second most in history behind Mike Anderson's first year in 2002-2003.
UAB shot 73.8% from the free throw line. This is 4th best. The best was in 1987-88 with 75.7%
UAB grabbed 1322 rebounds, which is 3rd best. Last year was the best with 1381.
UAB had 9 disqualifications this year. This was 4th lowest in history.
Finally, UAB had 184 blocks this year, which is the best ever, bypassing 169 blocks in 1988-89"
Not surprised that our block total is first all-time. And I'm pretty sure Tosin had 9 disqualifications by himself last year.
In conference play, UAB shot 79.1% at the FT line. That was best by far in C-USA. Second best was Mid TN at 74.6%.
Overall, UAB was the 38th best FT shooting team in the country.
Good stuff MB. Great numbers for such a young squad.
Excellent work, MB ! These stats bode well for next season.
