Wood Doin' Work

Scott Wood leads the nation in offensive rating, producing 133.9 points per 100 possessions. Unless it's a dunk or layup, I say no one shoots until Scotty has had at least one touch during every possession of the NCAA tournament for however long the run lasts (which will be all the way; haven't you seen my bracket?). Yup. Just gonna send Gott a strategy tweet. Sure he'll ‘preciate it. Probably get a hat tip in the postgame presser after we sever some nets in the ATL.

Wood's firm position atop the leaderboard highlights a number of impressive rankings for the not-offensively-challenged Pack. I present them to you in easy to digest bullet form:

• Wood: 9^th in 3's (102), 9^th in true shooting % (66.5%), and 10^th in 3-point FG% (44.4%)
• Richard Howell: 1^st in awesome (1,000,000%)*, 1^st in BTP message board nicknames (CDB, beardmode, Big Rich, etc.)*, 2^nd in total rebounds (365), 4^th in offensive rebounds (128), 5^th in rebounds per game (10.7), 6^th in defensive rebounds (237), 19^th in total rebound % (19.7), and 20^th in field goal % (56.6%)
• T.J. Warren: 4^th in field goal % (62.6%), 5^th in effective field goal % (65.0%), and 14^th in offensive rating (128.6)
• Lorenzo Brown: 7^th in assists per game (7.2) and 7^th in assists (230)
• C.J. Leslie: 19^th in free throw attempts (225)

*Not actual statistics

Actual statistics above were pilfered without permission from College Basketball Reference; here is their glossary if you would like an explanation of some of those newfangled metrics.

Bucknell's Mike Muscala leads the nation in total rebounds with 368. Counting stats are far inferior to rate stats blah blah blah. It would be cool if the Pack's season goes at least one more game than Bucknell's season so that Howell can pass him and hopefully hold off everyone else for the title of Mostest Rebounds Grabbed in all the Land!

Oh, and get Wood the ball please-k-thx.
