Truly Astounding Stat Line (TB)

0 points (0-0 FG, 0-0 FT)
0 rebounds

0 steals
1 assist

 

We need to put up a plaque in PBA that reads, “This plaque is dedicated to the effort and statistical anomaly on display, February 13th, versus the Minnesota Gophers, by Nebrasketball senior-center, Tanner Borchardt.”

 

Flat-out amazing that someone can play over 3/4 of the game and nearly record zero traditional statistical output. To me, it shows that must have been doing EVERYTHING else right that Miles was asking him to do, and boxing out multiple Minnesota guys so that teammates could get boards.

 

”Stats don’t matter. Wins do.” Tanner Borchardt, probably.

I briefly mentioned this in another thread.  The dude was out there working his butt off.  I was surprised that when I looked at the board about midway through the second half, he was pretty much zeroed out.  I also noticed that the Minnesota bigs had points in excess of 25 and rebounds in the 15 range, while our bigs were at about 4 points and 3 rebounds.  Isaiah scored another basket and grabbed perhaps one more rebound.  That said, I thought both of our bigs (along with Brady) were not played like slugs.  It was a wierd statistically night.

 

But you were probably right, Tanner likely didn't notice the stats.

[B-town hoopsfan]

Really wish he was only a redshirt junior. That and wish we taught post moves/looking into the post because he has good position quite often on offense. 

[HuskerFever]

And to think... he was 1 too many assists from greatness.

So, give 10 more minutes to Brady Heiman and the other 21 to ... Thor?

 

And Jordan Murphy goes off for 40 points and Minnesota wins by 20.

That’s my point. He had to have been doing everything else you can’t find on a stat sheet perfectly. Because obviously there wasn’t another option. 

[Handy Johnson]

We’d be lost without him & if we do sneak on the bubble he’ll be a BIG reason why.

I remember years ago reading about NBA bench players trying desperately to avoid the "trillion" stat line.  One minute played with nary a stat.

 

Guys go in who rarely play and jack up a quick shot, get a foul...something...just to get a stat.

OR there was MN Timberwolf Ricky Davis who would miss shots on purpose to get his own board and pad his stat line...

Moses Malone was known to do the same.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Yep.  I thought Tanner played pretty well.  Amir had a similar night.  It helps us out a ton if our role players do the dirty work on defense, set good screens, etc.

Ricky’s was a documented occurrence while he was trying to get a triple double, I saw it happen. Moses didn’t need to pad his stats, they spoke for themselves.

Moses Malone is one of my favorite players of all time.

I don't believe I have ever witnessed another human being sweat as much as Moses Malone.  That dude was a faucet.

 

[Handy Johnson]

He made everybody else sweat that’s for sure, single handedly led Houston to the ‘81 Finals.

[Handy Johnson]

Anyway... Tanner might not pad the stat line, but who’s gonna be that “lunch pail” guy on the roster next year? I don’t see anybody.

Starts with “T.”

 

Ends with “horir Thorbjarnarson.”

we're 1-5 since tanner replaced copeland and have been horrific on offense. 57 ppg with tanner vs 73 ppg with copeland.

 

i'm not saying there's a better option on the bench, but we have been terrible since tanner has been in the starting lineup.

 

those of you praising tanner's all zero statline are just making me laugh. hopefully the next coach can recruit a legit big man and not resort to starting walkons.

I don't want to be a broken record, but the wheels were starting to fall of before Copeland got injured. I still don't know what started getting into this team, but things weren't clicking. And then the injury just escalated it.

Yep. Your last two sentences. Tanner is a beast.

Sixers won it all in '83 because they got Moses, who led them to the Promised Land with a Doctor in tow.

I get Tanner isn’t Charles Oakley, but he brings a toughness and attitude this team sorely lacks. As far as a Big Man goes, yeah we could use one, who couldn’t? They’re hard to find, that’s why there are so few, even in the NBA...
