Brian Conklin getting screwed in the record books

[big red22]

By my calculations Conklin should be #30 on the all time list, and what he did in the 2003-2004 season has gone unmatched since going 66-118.  That is 56% behind the arch

 

Through his 4 years at Nebraska he was 176 for 407 behind the arc for a .4324 and according to this link he is not even listed.  What BS

A movement starts with the voice of one person.  So, you have started the movement.

This is certainly a glaring oversight and most worthy of some type of inquiry, but what really surprises me is how many players in the top 20 I have never, EVER heard of...

Never understood why he wasn't asked to the 3 point shooting contest his senior. We know we weren't in the NCAA that year. And they had some guys we played against and he was way better both in shooting and story.

I did no further research than glancing at the link, but it says "Minimum 200 3P".  So, if he made 176 in his career, he would not qualify if that means minimum 200 3's "made."

Maybe... but on a side note McBucket's isn't listed either for Creighton.  So I don't know how reliable the site is

Good catch. I read the minimum requirements as "attempted" at first glance.

Said Brian's alter ego  

 

Seriously, "Conk" has my admiration for the way he finished strong his Sr. year after taking a lot of criticism at times.

Conklin was here 4 years and got screwed in the record books.  If he would have played his cards right, after a year or so, he should have been screwed in a park.....

Except I think he is or was a youth minister during his stay here.

Dinger can ball though.  Averaged more PPG than Petteway.  I hope Walt's up to the challenge against him this year when we play them. 

 

Damn he would've been good with this bunch.

OMG!!!  Did you see that at the :56 mark?  HE WENT TO HIS LEFT HAND!!!

 

(Edited to add:  And, at 3:10, he's finally figured out how to post someone up and get a shot off over them by going up strong.)

[ShortDust]

Pretty sure dinger used all of his eligibility.

I'm pretty sure Walt will be able to handle whatever Standhardinger can throw at him this year, seeing as how the most it could possibly be is popcorn...from the stands...

[Fullbacksympathy]

Well piss.. I read the wrong thing.  My mistake. 

[Silverbacked1]

Yeah Dinger isn't on the Gibbs scholarship path of playing college basketball.

BTW, I suspect Brian Conklin is among the last people in the world losing sleep over whether or not he gets mentioned in some record book for his 3-pt shooting.  Terrific young man.  Very grounded.

Yeah but we ain't.
