score this past year and how many does he need to average to beat Pullen for career points?

Pullen and MF both played 33 games as freshmen. MF scored 513 points in 33 games whereas Pullen scored just 319. If MF plays the same number of games as JP did in his career (135) and keeps this same pace (although it's somewhat easy to assume he'll improve upon his FR numbers) he will reach 2098 points - 34 points short of Pullen's record of 2312. So, for MF to reach 2,313 points for his career, he'll need 15.88 ppg over his next 102 games. This will be fun to track as time goes on.  :popcorn:

It would probably help Foster out quite a bit if oscar would start winning tournament games.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but it's from the Grantland article on K-State/Xavier. I could watch this gif for hours...

And damn, we played so hard back then. :frown:

Through 7 games Foster has scored 104 points and has played 71% of the minutes available and is scoring 31.5 points per 100 possessions. Last year he scored 477 while playing 73% of the minutes and scored 31.8 points per 100 possessions. K-State is playing at the same pace as last year, about 65 possessions per game.

I would expect Foster's minutes and points to be slightly higher than last year, but I'll be conservative and say he'll end the season playing 75% of the minutes and scoring 32 points per 100. If he doesn't get hurt and plays every game (with a minimum of 31 regular games, 1 Big 12, 1 postseason), he will score 515 points this season. Added to last year's total, he'll be at 991 points, which will put him on pace to score just over 2000, but not enough to surpass Evans or Pullen if he stays all 4 years. However, its likely his minutes and points per 100 will increase if he stays all 4 years, it will be a matter of staying healthy and runs in the postseason that will decide if he breaks the record, but I'd say he's more than on pace to do so at this point in his career.

I will bet anyone $100 that Foster breaks the record if he stays for 4 years.

he won't break the record regardless of how much time he spends shredding nets in the OOD

This is the truth honestly. That and without solid big guy play it'll be harder to have him wide open for kick outs.

Foster has been wide open a rough ridin' lot this year. So I don't think that's a thing, dc cat. Post season play is weak. Even Pullen played in a NIT. I bet we make a bigger run in the NIT this year than Pullen did.  :D

Then why are his numbers so average? Is it just his shooting percentage? (keep in mind I went to school when Beasley was there, so averaging under 20 is pretty average to me)

He is playing lazy so far this year. He doesn't look as energetic or excited as last year. Could be a sophomore slump or it could be that he rough ridin' hates this team since they suck.  :dunno:

Did Pullen have a sophomore slump or get lazy for a season? I remember Rodney doing it, but I can't remember if Pullen did.

He was average his freshman year. He started to be seen his sophomore year, but that was a NIT year.  :frown:

Wait, you are saying Foster's scoring numbers are average?

He is only averaging 14.9 ppg. I'm assuming that ranks him pretty low nationally on the old "best scorers" list.

You need to look at my points per 100 possession stats to get an accurate look at how well he really scores. Anything over 30 is really good and he's the only freshman in recent memory to score at greater than 30 points per 100 possessions besides Beasley and Walker.

Right now he's at basically the same rate as last year, but if he stays at the same rate (I think it will probably go up to 32-33 points per 100 in Big 12 play) and increases his minutes (I'm sure he'll play over 80% of the minutes available) his scoring average will go up significantly. Keep in mind Pullen's points per 100 by year from FR-SR were 22.8, 26.3, 34.0, and 36.0. IMO Foster's per 100 scoring this year will be similar to Pullen's JR year, and if he stays all four years he'll be scoring above 35 points per 100 his JR and SR seasons.
