Title: We Are Going to Win a Game This Year Because Foster Goes Off For Like 36
Post by: Steffy08 on January 19, 2015, 12:50:06 PM
It would be cool if it happened tomorrow in Ames.  I think ISU is susceptible to this occurring.

Thinking it would be cool if it happened and predicting it to happen are two completely different things.

If Foster can get a stretch were he really gets going. We are going to steal some games. Man it would be nice. I would really like Nigel and Edwards to get a hot streak going too.

These would be nice things. Are there other nice things that we should be looking forward to?

It would be almost impossible for him to score that many because we play too slow.

There are nice things and there are nice things that can happen. This is one that can happen. Foster will have a couple games where he goes off for 6 or 7 made threes.

Another one is Gip having a 20 and 8 game or 2.

True that.  I am predicting it will happen at least once this year, because Foster is that good of a shooter.

I am not predicting it will happen tomorrow, but I do think the way that ISU plays (and defends, or lack thereof) makes this particular game a likely candidate for the Foster explosion.

37 is way too high.

35.....Foster is insulted.

People often refer to Hilton as a good shooter's gym. Seems like Spradling always had really good games in Hilton, but no place else.

Maybe it's a bad shooter's gym, then.

We have already stolen two games IMO

We are 3-4 in games decided by 4 or less, so I would argue the exact opposite.  :dunno:

FWIW, from kenpom:
Luck - A measure of the deviation between a team’s actual winning percentage and what one would expect from its game-by-game efficiencies. It’s a Dean Oliver invention. Essentially, a team involved in a lot of close games should not win (or lose) all of them. Those that do will be viewed as lucky (or unlucky).

The Cats are 129th in luck.

I agree; and, we have had some stolen from us.

My point is that we can expect Foster to go off at least once this year, and that that event will probably be enough to win a game.  Hopefully he goes off in a game where we wouldn't win otherwise; I hope that it is tonight or against KU.

Only Kenpom would put rankings to luck.
