Happy Saturday, Herd! Your friendly neighborhood broadcaster stopping by to drop a few notes I thought you all might find interesting:
- Marshall’s usage of the pick & roll is 4th-highest in the nation (39.6% of offensive possessions utilize PnR). Only Mount St. Mary’s, George Washington & UC Riverside use it more
- Taevion Kinsey’s season stats are nuts, but one that jumped out was: he’s played 95.5% of Marshall’s total minutes this year. That ranks 4th out of 2,262 qualifying players in the country
- Micah Handlogten leads all freshmen in blocks (UConn’s Donovan Clingan is next closest w/ 39). His offensive rebounding is just as impressive, grabbing an off. board on 17.9% of attempts, 6th-highest of any player in the country. He actually has a higher OREB rate, individually, than Colorado St., Stonehill, Vermont & Merrimack do as teams.
- During SBC play, Marshall is the highest scoring offense (78.2 PPG during conf. play). They’re also avg. 19.4 assists per game during league play, which is tops in the conference. Marshall has assisted on nearly 60% of their made baskets this season (59.5), which is the 28th best assisted shot rate in the NCAA
- Marshall is 3-0 in league play when scoring 10 or more fast break points
- The nation’s only guard duo where each avg. at least 18.8 PPG resides in Huntington: Andrew Taylor & Taevion Kinsey. Based on my research, only Marshall & Morgan St. have a pair of guards averaging at least 18.0 PPG
Looking forward to being back in town for this one!
