a couple observations after seeing the stats in the box score....
-Jordan Swopshire definitely made two long jumpers - must have been credited with a 2-pointer on one of them because the box score says he was 1-2 from 3-pt
-Nate Wells clearly blocked at least one shot and even drew some "ooohs" from the crowd on that flurry - and his tall presence in the middle did alter a few others - especially a pair of layup attempts back-to-back by Ka'Darryl - and yet Nate is credited in the box score with zero blocks.
Omari was credited with 2-4 from 3-pt range but they did a 3-pt contest and on completely unguarded and unhurried 3-pointers - he looked bad and knocked down only one of five.
-Auston Barnes does have a nice looking stroke but seemed a bit timid and didn't get into the offense much..
-according to the "official stat page- Xzavier Taylor had 1 offensive rebound and three defensive rebounds but then is credited with SIX rebounds total.
And - if you add the totals of offensive rebounds, you get 12 but the box score says 14,
and if you add the defensive rebounds you get 25, yet the box score says 29!
Even the individual scoring totals add up to 82 - yet the total in the box score is 84.
The individual assists add to 18, yet the sum says 19.. so all in all much of these stats are not reliable...
BUT - the bigget goof is that the shooting stats -- just do the math using the individual shooting figures
and you get 31-73 - and yet they say 31-63, probably because of some faulty addition....
and then cite our really fine 49.2% shooting from the field - when in fact we really shot just 42.4%
the same holds true with the women's box score - nothing adds up right - individual scoring is 18 but the box score says 21,
shooting adds to 6-27 but their total is 7-29, FT's add to 5-8 but they get 6-9
steals add to 6 but the they got 7, even the simple turnover count is FIVE but they came up with six, and fouls add to 3 but they get 4.
The newspaper seems to have gone with all the incorrect stats they were handed without doing any checking...
..so given all this gotta wonder about the attendance figure...
