I know they didn't have a 3-pt line back in the 1980-81 season, but I don't recall Ozell Jones taking that many long range shots during his career. In this game he took more 3's than anyone else on the team. I thought Mike Jones would be the player taking the 3's, but he only took 1 the whole game.

P.S. That was one oddity I noticed. Another was Cliff Levingston with 13 blocks?

I didn't see anything really unusual for the 2013-14 team.

And yeah. Ozell has a big game and Antoine a poor one? Wonder if that ever really happened?
