There was a lot of discussion in yesterday's recap of the NC State game as well as in the subsequent member comments about Princeton's need for a third consistent scoring option.
This got me thinking during the portions of the long drive back from Raleigh where I was conscious - How do the Tigers' offensive statistics look when divided into two distinct categories:
A) Ian Hummer & Douglas Davis
B) "The Field" consisting of the other 15 players on the roster.
FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE
A) 26-52 (.500)
B) 15-45 (.326)
Overall: 41-96 (.427)
THREE POINT PERCENTAGE
A) 9-16 (.563)
B) 7-16 (.438)
Overall: 16-32 (.500)
FREE THROW PERCENTAGE
A) 6-10 (.600)
B) 11-21 (.524)
Overall: 17-31 (.548)
TOTAL POINTS
A) 67 (34 for Hummer and 33 for Davis)
B) 48 (13 for Barrett and 12 for Saunders, 23 for everyone else)
Overall: 115
This data isn't shocking to anyone who has watched Princeton's first two games of the 2011-12 season, but it is a touch more jarring to see these splits laid out.
Needless to say, Davis and Hummer are the only players to reach double figures in each game.
