The Wiz Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Welcome to The "YAWN" known as the sleepy time thread. It stands for Yuri Assist Watch Now. This thread is to commemorate Yuri entrance into one of College Basketball's most exclusive clubs...The Top 250 Players of all time in Assists in D1. He did this during the Providence game and currently has 603 assists and is now ranked 245th. He is currently on pace to break the all time college assist record of 1076 set by Bobby Hurley at Duke in 1993. This assumes he stays healthy and he comes back next year. After every game that Yuri records an assist , I will report the latest total and ranking along with some highlights of players he has tied or passed. Here are today's numbers... Rank...245th...# 603 Passed Xavier Johnson... #602... Indiana...still playing Tony Bennett...# 601... Green Bay...1989-1992 Tied Terry Giles...Fla. A&M...1987-1990 Jake Odum...Ind St...2011-2014 Pistol, majerus mojo, stmdragons and 5 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Yuri is up to 11.6 assists per game this year which would be good for 3rd all-time for a single-season. SLUMedBilliken15 and BrettJollyComedyHour like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 update...after the TnSt game Good timing on starting this thread....

In the TnSt game Yuri's 20 assists sets the SLU record and ties the A-10 record. Here are the current numbers... Rank #159....647 assists Yuri makes a huge jump ...42 places Tied with...

In that time, Yuri has climbed nearly 100 spots in the ranking and has accumulated over 50 assists. An amazing rise in such a short time. Keep it going Yuri.

They do count. Games are either countable (as determined by the NCAA...there is a list of countable teams made up by the NCAA)...or not countable which are marked on the schedule as exhibition....the Quinn and Stowe assists count toward the record.

Major Majerus Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I was a Bobby Hurley fan - he saw the court better than any point guard not named Cousy ( showing my age). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
