Wichita State: vs Memphis (02/23/23)

[Woodrow]

Well stated. I noticed last night that CP threw at least 2 passes that bounced of Memphis players ankles in the first half alone, and then in the closing minutes dribbled the ball of a Tigers' foot (I guess better than his, this time...) yet GoShockers box score shows no turnovers. Huh? As far as shooting goes, yes, he's a "Chucker."

He's a good player and I'm not pointing fingers, but WSU has not won a game that was in the balance the last few minutes other than Temple the other night, for the last 2 years. Like one of our trusted ShockerNetters, who rarely is prone to verbosity, observed last week "WSU has to be the worst ball handling team in D1." Amen.

You really seem to have an issue with Porter. We would be Tulsa bad without him.

Just what is your criteria for being a "Chucker"?

First, he is shooting 32% from 3. Nothing great, but not bad either.

He plays more MPG than anyone else on the team. CP has had 7 games out of 26 where he has shot 5 or more 3's. In 2 of those games, he went 1-7 and 0-6. In the other 5 games, he was 11-28 or 39.3%. So, most of the time he is on target when shooting more than normal amount of 3s.

In 16 of the 26 games, he shot 3 or fewer 3's.

He shoots a one 3 per 10 minutes played. Compare that to Pierre who shoots one 3 per 1.8 minutes played.
