Just took a look at the KenPom stats from last night's game. Incredible. Best I recall seeing for an MU team. Ever.
1.32 points per possession
All players except Sacar had O-ratings over 132
Markus with usage of 51%
Lost in all of the rightful attention for Markus - It appears Chartouney played a really good game against a really good team. Encouraging.
That was crazy, and so fun to hear the roars as the threes kept falling. I love when a performance is so good you can't help but laugh at some point.
Do they provide usage by half too in Ken Pom. Markus had to be 70%. As much as he was rolling, I still felt uncomfortable at one point seeing Sam and Joey waiting in the corners with hands outstretched waiting on a kick out for a wide open look that he knew wasn't likely to come. You could compile a video of that this year. Markus was absolutely rolling, it was incredible to see a 40 pt half, and this isn't a rip on Markus after an amazing performance. I do wish he would have thrown the other guys a bone once or twice during that stretch because they were wide open. All that said, I watched the start of the second half last night when I got home. Markus had 3 2nd half points in the first 5 mins, so wow over the last 15!

Not that I'm aware of. But he does have a quarter by quarter box score. Last nights looked like this:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Buffalo 22 16 26 21
Marquette 15 24 28 36
So, as KenPom projected a very tight game (MU favored by 2), through the first 30 minutes. Then Buffalo got "Markussed."
