At this point is all in the books. But I can't let this one go. A quick look at KenPom.com's 2017 National Leaders: Offensive Rating shows that Dartmouth had two players on the lists. Under the 40% usage rate coming in at the very last spot at #100 was Evan Boudreaux. Coming in at #80 at the 20% usage rate was Brendan Barry. Next year he'll play more and start. This year he should have played more and started.

The eye test says he should have started most of the season. More importantly the numbers suggest he should have been playing more minutes. Instead we ran Johnson at the point early and Fleming all year long. I'm suggesting that both the basketball intuition or empirical eye test, as well as, by the data we shouldn't have missed out on so much of what Barry could have offered this team. Oh just for comparative purposes the #79 player..just above our Brendan Barry...some guy named Joel Berry who starts for some school called UNC. IJS



If the UNC reference is to far afield. Let's take Brown's JR Hobbie. JR shoots it from 3pt range at 46.8%, played about 16.8 Mins a game and took about 5 3's a game. He ranked 27th in the NCAA in 3pt percentage. Our Brendan Berry ranked 33 in the NCAA shot 45.5%, played 18.2 mins a game and only took about 2 3's a game. This is in the Ivy League which leads the NCAA in 3pt attempts.

We did a really poor job of using our talent & strength to our advantage. We really shot ourselves in the foot on that one.
