Interesting statistics

[Tom Blevins]

I thought it would be good to look at the scoring of Stevenson, Harris, and Jasper, for the season and for the games after Patterson was out for the season.
For the season:
Stevenson 5.9
Harris 4.2
Jasper 4.2
After Patterson went out for the season
ppg
Stevenson 9.2
Harris 7.0
Jasper 4.6
Stevenson had a high of 18 points durring those 5 games and scored in double figures 3 times. Harris had a high of 12 in his only double figure game in this stretch. Jasper had a high of 14, which was also his only double figure game in the last 5.
Both Harris and Jasper failed to score against Marquette, which hurt their averages. Stevenson brought his ppg up the most, but was followed closely by Harris.
The potential is clearly there for all three of these players to bring their averages up next season. Patterson and Meeks will be back, but Bradley and Crawford will both be gone.

I never thought I would say this, I think Patterson will help open things up for Stevenson next year. Obviously Patterson will inherit double teams, triple teams, and so fourth. I realize the lineup was this way prior to Patterson getting hurt but I'm not sure where Perry was with his confidence. The hesitation seemed to disappear after Pat got sidelined.
