According to Evan's data, Marquette has the 11th best 3 man lineup in College Basketball.
Kam, Stevie, and WOAH that's a nice 3rd name to see.
That's certainly interesting, and very great to see.

Am I reading this correctly that our trio has fewer possession than the Creighton trio that includes Pop Isaacs who has been out since early December? If that's the case, it would seem like a small sample size relatively speaking. I would also be curious to see who the other two players on the court are during these possessions. I would guess that a lot of the possessions for our trio also has Jop/Chase.

You are reading correctly. Not surprising though seeing Royce plays just 13 minutes per game and Ben has been getting better and better.

Yeah you can look at that stat in a couple of ways.......
1 That lineup should be playing more minutes together
2 If that lineup played more minutes the effectiveness would likely moderate since Royce's numbers on the season don't suggest he has been that good.
Clearly the takeaway here is that we should be starting Royce instead of Joplin.
I'm sure that would also help eliminate the criticisms about our lack of bench production. It's not too late for Jop to get another BE 6th man of the year award, is it?
