Truly Astounding Stat Line (TB)

[ladyhusker]

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...

No joke...especially when you consider that we had one -- not a world-beater but at least another big body who had some skill for sure -- who took a crap on the team in July. I'm not saying we're undefeated or anything, but I do wonder sometimes what having another option to eat some minutes in the paint would have done. But that ship sailed, and Tanner has played his ass off, and I don't see how his mere presence somehow got the team to forget how to make layups. Correlation is not causation.

disagree. had 1 bad loss at rutgers. the 5 other losses were to tourney teams. 

 

we were struggling but far from wheels falling off. 

 

If you want to use Rutgers as a cutoff, then here's how things have looked:

 

11.3% worse field goal shooting

5.1% worse 3-point shooting

7.8% worse free throw shooting

19 fewer points scored in a game

4 fewer assists

4 fewer steals

 

Our defense has kept us in some of these games as of late, but our offense is concerning as of late.

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.

 

It's a no brainer that we're better with Copeland.

What we're praising here is Tanner doing what the coaches are asking him to do. 

Finally, Tanner is a scholarship player.

Do you have a better idea of what he can do?
