pullen numbers

[cas4ksu]

Yes they did.  Maybe not in the first 15 mins of the game, but there was another 25 after that where Pullen was blown by on several occasions.  Walker scored the first FG for FL by blowing past Jake. 

i'm not going to say that no uf guard ever got past pullen, because i certainly didn't watch that matchup that closely.  i will say that it you think uf guards going past pullen was a systemic issue throughout the game, you're either blind or didn't see the game.  it simply didn't happen.

qft. that defensive possession when pullen drew the charge was one of the best defensive possessions i've seen in a while.

EDIT: Thought I had this formatted right, but it didn't work out.  Any help appreciated.

Not sure what this means, if anything, but it sure looks to me like Pullen's numbers are a lot more inflated from games against bad teams this year than last year.  Last year, he kept his shooting percentage and 3p% in a much more consistent range regardless of opponent ability, while this year there is a clear indication that his solid overall numbers are skewed due to good play against bad teams.  Could be many reasons for this: less open shots due to more defensive focus on him is what I'm hoping for.  However, I feel like he hit lots of guarded shots last year.  Any thoughts?

Yeah, he draws the top defender on every team we play and sometimes the top 2 defenders since we have no other threats to score.   Last year clemente drew some of the top defenders off him.  Jake also has to be the defensive stopper for the opponent which could take its' toll on him.
