I heard during the SF game that Loyd is shooting 71 percent this year from the field!!!!!!!! :bug:

And his 3pt shooting is 70%. That's unreal, I don't care if he's only taken 15 shots, that's still crazy percentages.

He must not take enough shots (or play enough minutes) to qualify as a stat leader.

Fredette broke the BYU record tonight against ASU.

This is a HUGE improvement over last year. I'm not saying our FT's were bad last year, but I remember them hurting us in a lot of games. People truly do GROSSLY underestimate the importance of FT's. Good FT shooting is the difference between a championship team, and a team that loses in the first round of the dance.

And we went 23-25 tonight to up that percentage even more!

UN-FREAKINBELIEVABLE!!!!!! That's quite a change from last year, and honestly thought that it was a typo or something when I read Greg Wrubell's blog and saw that. Question though, "Will it last?...."

He was 1-3 today BTW, 0-2 from three-point range.

If someone told me last year we'd have this stat with Chris Miles still on our team, I'd have told them they were crazy. But even with the limited minutes he's playing he's doing pretty good.

Isn't Miles shooting like 70% from the charity stripe this year??
