FYI - end of regular season stats- Nation-leading scoring increased to 100.8, as WLU scored 109 against Wheeling on only 84 possession for an amazing 1.30 points per possession.
- West Liberty is in the top 4 nationally in 8 categories!
- West Liberty is in the top 10 nationally in 9 categories!
- 90th percentile in 14 categories!
- th in nation at FG 51.70%
- WLU 3FG% edged upward to 38.91% (19th in nation)
- Assists are #2, up to 20.7 a game, which is an indicator of how much they share the ball, especially when one considers the scoop and scores on steals, which are generally not applicable for assists
- Assist to turnover ratio is an amazing 1.69, considering the rapid pace of play and the increased number of possessions in a game.
- Wheeling shot extremely well and WLU was below par at the foul line, which reduced their stats in these areas.
- Three-point attempts ranking declined, because WU was defending the three and giving up the inside score.

Observations West Liberty at Wheeling U 2/26/22Wheeling Strategy- Although they lack height and depth, WU has some very talented, experienced scorers, who can score both inside and out. They are talented one-on-one players. They have played many close games against good opponents.
- Typical goals for WLU opponents: Avoid turnovers, rebound, draw fouls, and take the open three-point shot. Attack the rim only if it leads to a good chance to draw a two-shot foul on WLU or leads to an open three. Otherwise, be patient in the half-court offense and share the ball to get a good shot.
Keys to WLU Victory- WLU forced 19 turnovers, with 53% being steals. They forced several time outs to avoid 5 second turnovers on inbounds pass.
- WU tried many players to guard Bryce inside, to no avail. Inside, he shot 77% (10-13) and 100% from three (2-2)
- Patrick was 58% inside (7-12), despite an off-night for threes (1-4). He wreaked havoc with 3 steals and 3 offensive rebounds.
- With Ben Sarson injured, Will Yoakum played a hefty 22 minutes, hitting 75% (3-4) inside and 67% from three (2-3). He is rapidly regaining his pre-injury form.
- WU fatigue, especially in the second half, took its toll. WLU leveraged their depth, with no one playing over 29 minutes, with 9 players getting at least 12 minutes.
- WU conceded all rebounds off their misses to WLU. No one was trying to get an offensive rebound.

I agree that it felt like a very strange senior night. The volume of seniors was notable, as you pointed out. Also, the fact that 3-4 of those seniors had 0 family members in attendance. They were walked out onto the floor by their underclass teammates. I'd never seen anything like that. The whole thing just had a pro forma (as opposed to a truly celebratory) feel. It was odd.
