Shooting Percentage In A Half

[hhcdave]

I'm wondering after today how rare it is for a team at the NCAA level (in the modern era) to shoot over 80% from the field for a half.

 

Off the top of my head, I don't think I've ever seen it, and I watch more college basketball than one should be allowed to do.

 

I wish ELIAS could answer this - but does anyone out there EVER remember a Nebraska team either shooting or allowing 80% from the field in a half? I have this weird feeling that it probably happens once a year in all of college basketball.

 

Not trying to overharp on today, just trying to understand exactly how amazing it was that UAB was allowed to do that, because I still can't comprehend it.

Don't be surprised if it doesn't happen more this season. Don't be surprised by anything this season. I knew there was trouble after the first slate of games gave us a 97 foul game, a 91 foul game and one game where *both* teams were one foul out away from being under 5 men on the court (the refs prolly swallowed whistles at that point).

The second half of the UMass game wasn't much better

It was nearly 70% for the Minutemen, IIRC.
