NSIC Men's Basketball 25-26

[NSICHoops]

Madson has 7 NSIC games with 10+ FT attempts, his 17 last night wasn't even a season-high.

He has 53 more attempts than Luke Winkel, who is 2nd in the NSIC in attempts (conference games only)

[Stanger86]

Well last night may have clinched this for Madson. 45 points off 14-18 shooting (4-6 from 3) and 13-17 from the line in an OT win over Wayne. Man, not even your guy Aeron Stevens had FT numbers like this.

What is it about freshmen coming in and having such good FT rates? Usually the joke is that vets get the betterwhistle....

[Purple Mav Man]

Remember when Stevens was good enough for a nickname? Those were the days.

We need to have a conversation about Madson's FT rate.

In NSIC games Madson has attempted 170 free throws and 294 field goals, that's a 58% FT rate.

For the sake of comparison last season here is how that compares to other notable players in NSIC games:

…

Ok I think that's enough, I think you all can see that this is without precedent.

First of all. Well said.

Second of all, Bergen Kinnebrew-Alexander says hold my Gatorade.
NSIC play: 254 FGA / 154 FTA = 60.63%

Even Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't had a FT rate over 48.4%!

And yeah, I find Stanger86 's point about a couple of recent freshmen having this kind of success in getting to the free throw line pretty interesting. Not something I'd expect from a freshman.

Yeah....I didn't even realize Madson was a freshman when I first saw the stat. A few hours later when I learned that perusing Twitter, I thought there could be something to it perhaps.

SMSU up 2 on Augie at the half in Marshall. Augie having some trouble offensively when Shaw is guarding Tam but found lots of openings when he sat down with two fouls.

Defensively Augie has left multiple shooters wide open behind the arc and paid the price. Ferguson was especially mediocre on on and off the ball that half.

[Augieholic]

Augie with an absolutely atrocious second half effort on both ends, their worst half of basketball since November. Stink. Stank. Stunk.

That's basically the reverse of the first matchup

Mustangs shot 78% (21-27 FGs) in the second half

Mustangs have a hell of a good play by play announcer. Fast talking, accurate and fair.

Swami is great! And he learned from a great one too, for those who remember Aaron Ziemer calling games.

Mankato vs. Concordia on Saturday, with a bye on the line.

Yes, I've always loved SMSU's play-by-play guy!

BKA’s percentage increases after last night’s 9-19 FG / 17-18 FT performance.

Now 63% on the season
