Its almost time for the games in conference and I was playing around with some stats from ESPN. Hope you find them as interesting as I did. The first number is the team rank compared to the other NCAA teams. The second is the stat itself.
Points per game: Wow - who would of thought those Aces were 3rd in the Valley?!
Wichita State - 79th - 74.7ppg
Missouri State - 100th - 73.6ppg
Evansville - 170th - 70.0ppg
Creighton - 186th - 69.0ppg
Indiana State 236th - 66.2ppg
Southern Illinois - 239th - 66.1ppg
Illinois State - 262nd - 65.0ppg
Northern Iowa 302nd - 61.8
Bradley - 306th - 61.3ppg
Drake - 311th - 61.1ppg
Rebounding: Uh - can you beleive SIU is the second best rebounding team in the MVC? Drake gets the collar for worst MVC team rank (335th).
Wichita State 88th - 38.0rpg
Southern Illinois 95th - 37.8rpg
Illinois State - 131st - 36.7rpg
Indiana State - 151st - 36.3rpg
Creignton - 162nd - 36.1rpg
Missouri State - 201st - 35.3rpg
Bradley - 240th - 34.2rpg
Northern Iowa - 260th - 33.8rpg
Evansville - 292nd - 32.3rpg
Drake - 335th - 29.0rpg
Field Goal Percentage: Bradley has serious problems with shooting. WSU and Evansville come very close to hitting the 3 as well as Bradley the 2!
Missori State - 33rd - 48.1%
Wichita State - 36th - 47.8%
Evansville - 68th - 46.4%
Southern Illinois - 152nd - 44.4%

Northern Iowa - 248th - 42.0%
Drake - 282nd - 40.6%
Bradley - 320th - 38.1%
A final interesting stat - SIU shoots an icy 28.5% at the three point line. However, Illinois St. manages slightly worse with a 28.3%. :shock:
