slufanskip Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Have we had a player lead the nation in any statistical category in the last 50 years? It’s kind of amazing we could have Brooke Flowers lead in blocks and Yuri lead in assists in the same season. Brooke is almost a full block per game ahead of the next player.

thetorch Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Bonner led the nation in rebounding average in 89-90. Larry Johnson finished with 1 more rebound than AB but played in 40 games vs AB's 33. slufanskip and BC1764 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The only stats I'm concerned with are Wins. I don't see the correlation between these individual accolades and team wins. It's not happening. I want (both) teams to lead the NCAA in wins. QUAILMAN, thetorch and CBFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Seems to me Brooke’s best skill is that she’s tall. Otherwise, quite robotic and u athletic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She jumps well, and her second and third jumps are impressive. She's very fast as well. For the amount that she gets banged around by heavier players she's suffered zero injuries as well. Quite an athlete, easily the most athletic center the womens team has ever had. slufanskip and Pistol like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her high school records would disagree with you. The fact that she's nearly top 25 all time in a physical (not just tall) stat shows she's got more than just a vertical advantage. I know people who are 6' 8" who couldn't block a shot if the basket was 3 feet shorter and behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more than just height and length. And she obviously has more to her game than blocks. Before this season, only 2 men and one woman Billiken basketball players had 1000 career points and 1000 career rebounds, Anthony Bonner and Jim McLaughlin for the men, and Arlene Lampe for the women. Add Brooke Flowers to that list, 1020 pts and 1041 rebounds. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost no one did though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
