Stats: Scoring 100 in a game

[BlueBomb]

Had some time to kill today. So, here's some stats to ponder.

We've scored 100 points in four games so far this season.
In the past 50 seasons, UK has scored 100 points in a game 113 times.
The record for 100-point games in a season is nine, which, of course, happened in '96.
We scored 100 points eight times in '75 and '90.
We scored 100 points six times in '78, '92, '93 and '24.
We scored 100 points five times in '77, '94 and '17.
That means that only 10 times in the past 50 seasons has a team scored 100 points more times than we have so far this season.

We need to score 100 points five more times to tie the '96 squad. If we reach 100 just two more times, there will only be three teams to have done it more -- '75, '90 and '96.

Lastly: Scoring 100 points several times in a season has usually been indicative of a successful season. The exceptions: 1990 was a strategy to remain competitive in Pitino's first season. And then there was...last year.

The fact that we're almost halfway to the '96 UK team's accumulation of 100 point games is pretty remarkable.

That '96 team would beat this UK team by 15-20 points, but it's still kind of a cool stat to aim for.

Buyer's remorse in Arksansas?

And last year is misleading bc we didn’t continue to play that style. Cal went back to his comfort zone when things tightened up down the stretch under the guise of “need to play defensive lineups and slow pace in March”. He started tinkering with 2 7 footers together plus Edwards and usually Wagner with only 1 shooter and occasionally 2 but not the majority of the time. Over emphasis on size and forcing drives

Last year has a different result if we just play Dilly, Reeves, Shep together for 20+ min a game with Wagner and Edwards off the bench while making sure 2 of the 3 skilled guards were in the floor at all time.

Hush or you’re gonna cause Cal to lose in the first round again.

Hush or you’re gonna cause Cal to lose in the first round again.

Be a whole lot funnier if the first round loss comes in the NIT. Of course, Cal has some experience with that also.

Go back to Rupp's last few years and they scored 100 more than any since.
