In response to Bison89
With Thomas averaging almost 23 points per game (22.9), I was wondering when the last time was that a Bison came out of the OOC portion of the schedule averaging 20+ points per game? I cannot remember anybody in recent memory.
I imagine it's Chris Simpson in 1993-94. He averaged 20.5 ppg for the entire season on a very high-scoring team. That team, for example, had six games with 98+ points. If it wasn't Simpson, then the next possible candidate would be Patrick King, who averaged over 20 ppg his senior year. Muscala, btw, didn't come close to a 20 ppg average in OOC play.
Here's one item of trivia: The last PL player to average 22 or more ppg for a full season was Brett Eppenheimer (Lehigh) in 1997-98. It was never done by McCollum, Muscala, Kempton, Sprink, etc. I doubt Zach can sustain that pace either - especially if they get some blow-out PL games where he plays limited minutes.
