MU Recruits in HS tournaments

[Badgerhater]

Sacar Anim has a pretty good game in MN:

From the article:   The Islanders’ Sacar Anim, a Marquette recruit, was held to six points in the first half. Gophers recruit Jarvis Johnson had just four points at halftime. The senior guards, who are the team’s leading scorers, were a combined 4-for-13 from the floor.

Anim, who averages 23.6 points per game, and Johnson took over in the second half. Anim scored the Islanders’ first 10 points after intermission and it appeared a rout was on. The Islanders’ lead quickly vaulted to 45-27.

Anim finished with a game-high 22 points while Johnson wound up with 14.

Heldt plays the Hauser bro's tonight

Are the Hauser Bros as tough as the Van Buren Boys?

Sacar tipping at noon today in a semifinal tilt.

Henry at 7pm in sectionals.

The VB boys are tough customers, but if you know their signs they'll think you're one of their own.

Twitter says he had 27pts.

Yes.. Sacar w/27. 10 of 15 FG; perfect on FT's. 5 rebs, 3 assists. Tough defense.

They shut down Mankato East and won easily. They'll go for another championship - their fourth in a row - on Saturday.

I really like that it seems every time I look at Anim's stats, he's making his free throws. We have to be better than 65% if we want to get back to winning ways.

Sacar and DeLaSalle advance to the finals with a 74-40 win over Mankato East.

It seems like Henry and Rice Lake play tonight at 7 pm as well.

Can't seem to find anything on Traci Carter's team and the playoffs.

Seems Cheatham's team lost in sectionals despite a 27 point performance from him. Apparently it went to OT on a controversial foul call against his team given that I've found 2 petitions asking for an overturn.

Wait until our free throw coaches get done with him.

I like that he seems like a willing scorer when needed that plays defense that Wojo likes. It's guys like Cheatham and Anim that are going to help us get back into a man scheme base package.

Anyone know the tv or streaming situation on these games?  As in is there any?

[Jay Bee]

Minnesota HS tourney is on locally - ch 45. Stream available for fee ($5) at Prep45.com per day. Sacar will play on Saturday for the championship... around 5pm CT.

@JBBauer612
Rice Lake moves on with a 62-48 win over Onalaska. #mubb's Henry Ellenson with 31 & 19.

Definitely agree with you.  That is very encouraging.  When I was reading his stat line from today, that part jumped out at me (zero missed FT's) as much as his 27 pts.

Was perfect again today, but the claim that we need to be better than 65% to win is ridiculous. FT% is nearly irrelevant to winning basketball games.

Huh?  Sure, I get that you need to get to the line as well enough to make it impactful on the outcome, but other than that, please explain the logic to that statement.

It's math. A team's FT% will tell you next to nothing about them.

Yes, agree, if they don't get to the line very often compared to their opponents, then yeah sure.  But to say a team's FT% is irrelevant is ludicrous.

OK - are you coming at this from a stand alone argument, i.e., team FT%  alone doesn't define how good, bad, or mediocre a team is?

Yes. brewcity said, "We have to be better than 65% if we want to get back to winning ways." The Warriors were 64.5% from the line this season.

I agree to an extent, but I'd venture to guess that way more often than not, teams that are solid from the line, have winning seasons.  The degree to which they win, I'm sure will vary greatly.

Not due to FT%.

Even offensive efficiency has little to do with FT%. Just doesn't carry a lot of importance. Sorry.

Just for kicks, here are the top 10 FT% teams in the D-I basketball this year:
