Some Stats Through 6 Games

I took a few minutes to look through the statistics for the guys after the first 6 games.  The Crusaders have posted a nice 5-1 record taking care of the teams they should have, sticking with Arizona, and beating other quality mid majors in Akron and Duquesne.  I'm going to point out some numbers that stick out to me and then calculate my PPS for each guy and the team as a whole.

Interesting Stats
* As was posted on the Valpo Fanzone Message board, Valpo leads the nation in free throws attempted.

* KVW is shooting the ball at a 68% clip.  He has turned it over only 14 times and has a mere 2 assists.  As teams adjust to KVW's dominance inside those assist numbers will have to rise.


* Jay Harris has 18 assists and only 5 turnovers this year.  If you would have told me he'd be doing this at this time last year I'd have thought you were crazy.  Can't wait to see what this guy will turn into over the next few years.  Tommy Kurth has 10 turnovers and 5 assists.

* Erik Buggs is averaging just under 6 points per game.  I'll take that!  He also has as many rebounds as Richie Edwards.

* Ryan is leading the team in rebounding (9 per game) and blocking shots (7 so far).  He is also second in scoring (15.5)..

* The Crusaders have 4 guys averaging double figures and another just under (KVW 17.8  Broekhoff 15.5  Edwards 13.7  Harris 11.2  Kenney 9.2).
