The Most Efficient player in the Country!!!

David and I sometimes have the same thing to write about on a particular night. Actually, it happens often. And I always defer to him. His "Stats don't Lie" are about Kyla Irwin and they show what a great season this young lady is having. I won't repeat her stats here.

I have watched her embrace her senior leadership, grabbing almost 20 minutes a game using sheer will and smarts. Watch her in the huddles. She talks non-stop. The question was "who would replace Dangerfield when she isn't playing point guard"? It's clear that Kyla is the point forward that UConn runs the offense through. She moves the players around, finds the open player for easy shots and is a steadying force on the court.

You just have to love a player like this. Not physically gifted, she played 36 terrific minutes against Dayton. She has earned the starting spot.

A couple of weeks ago I posted these stats after four game for Tennesseee

FG% 43.0
3FG% 29.0
FT% 59.7
Assists/TO 66/76

Now, here it is after 6 games

FG% 45.0
3FG% 28.0
FT% 62.5
Assists/TO 110/108

Congrats to the Lady Vols on their slight improvement.

Of course, this is against RealtimeRPI’s 295, 335, 96, 304,165, and 230 rated teams. Their SOS according to this site is 333. 333 Really?

My buddy Meyers pointed out UConn’s numbers at the same time (Only 2 games).

FG% 41.5%
3FG% 28.9%
FT % 60.7%
Asst/TO 29/26

So, how does UConn stand now after 6 games?

FG% 46.7%
3FG% 37.4%
FT % 69.2%
Asst/TO 109/75%

Now, that is an improvement. And Real-time RPI has them with the 7th rated SOS.

By David in Naples!!!!!

Kyla Irwin is not perfect anymore. At least not shooting from the field. She is only 11-12 for 92%. Six shots of seven from the 3 pt arc have gone in and all 5 from closer were baskets. Her assist to turnover is also not perfect, but is darn close at 4 to 1. (12 assists vs 3 turnovers)

Her free throw shooting is a mere 75%, at 3-4. The 15 rebounds equal a nice 3 per game and her 2 blocks are only 1 less than Megan. Playing 95 total minutes in 5 games gives Kyla a nice 19 per game average. Her 6.2 pts per game lands her 5th spot on the Huskies.

Good hustle and few mistakes are her trademarks..!
