Some BU and Valley stats...and more proof we are being lied to by warmers!!

Andrew Warren had another nice game last night in Bradley's win over Jackson State.
Andrew was 9-14, 23 pts, 4 rebs, NO turnovers, and one thunderous dunk.
Again -- I can still recall there were people criticizing Andrew over the past couple years as if he was not likely to ever help BU much!! Can you believe it!

Andrew, by the way, leads the Missouri Valley in scoring at 18.2 ppg, and this 18.2 is the highest scoring average at least 10 games into the season, is as high as any Valley player has had in a FULL decade at this point!!

The 18.2 ppg also ranks Andrew Warren inside the Top 60 in the nation!!
Xavier Silas of NIU leads the nation at 28.1 ppg!



And BU is having to play with TWO freshman starters and over 1/2 (103/200) minutes of the game last night were played by freshman and inexperienced sophomores...
Creighton got some home cooking from the refs....Greg Echenique alone shot twice as many FT's as the entire WIU team!!!
Echenique had 7 stitches above his right eye from a collision in practice!

Bradley still drew 7235 on a night that was bad weather, weeknight (even the unusual Monday night game), holiday season, obscure and low-ranked non-conference opponent, and even the Bears were playing a playoff-clinching game that's been hyped for weeks!
I'd say BU drew pretty well considering other teams in the Valley like SIU, ISU, and UNI are barely drawing 3000!


I noted in Creighton's game last night...they drew one of their really smallest crowds in years -- only a little over 13000 but lots of seats were empty.
BU drew within 100 of their usual crowds this time of year.....



The Valley doesn't have a lot of freshmen who are key to their teams' success so far, but here are the Valley freshmen (both true freshmen and redshirt freshmen) that have stood out so far.

I have ranked them in order of who I think are the top candidates for Freshman of the Year...but of course the level of competition varies greatly....thus I have also noted the Strength of Schedules of the teams involved.

-Doug McDermott (Creighton - SOS=148) 28.5 mpg, 12.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg (4th-tie in MVC in shot attempts/gm)

-Walter Lemon (Bradley - SOS=161) 21.1 mpg, 9.2 ppg, 3.0 rpg

-Rayvonte Rice (Drake - SOS=268) 27.8 mpg, 12.4 ppg, 4.0 rpg (4th-tie in MVC in shot attempts/gm)

-Jordan Prosser (Bradley - SOS=161) 18.5 mpg, 3.7 ppg, 5.2 rpg

-Jake Odum (InSU - SOS=153) 25.8 mpg, 6.0 ppg, 2.9 rpg

-Jon Ekey (ISU - SOS=330) 18.5 mpg, 4.8 ppg, 3.9 rpg

-Chip Rank (UNI - SOS=196) 14.2 mpg, 3.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg


Here' some really great pictures from last night's Bradley game...

Here are some stats of players with connections to the MVC that are playing in the NBDL -- the NBA Developmental League...

UNI's Jordan Eglseder was waived a 2nd time from Maine -- knee problems hampered him...
He was averaging only 2 ppg, 1 rpg

Other players of interest..
Hassan Whiteside from Marshall had some pretty good college stats, impressed the pro scouts, and got drafted in the 33rd spot..
..he's playing in the D-League 5.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg

Evansville's Shy Ely 8.4 ppg, 1.9 rpg
Booker Woodfox 13.2 ppg, 1.2 rpg
Chamberlain Oguchi 13.4 ppg, 3.6 rpg

Daniel Orton (1st round pick from Kentucky) 10 ppg, 8 rpg
Cole Aldrich (lottery pick from Kansas) 7.8 ppg, 7.2 rpg
Jamar Smith (U of I) 13.2 ppg, 5.3 apg
Ex-ISU commit Justin Dentmon -- maybe has a shot at a spot on an NBA roster -- 18.4 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 2.5 apg



Tom Izzo keeps taking hits -- real and those in the press...
the latest one....will he suspend Lucious more??

Breaking news as I write this -- a 7.4 earthquake just hit off the coast of Japan...hope there's no tsunami or flood issues out west..



Did anyone see this -- frigid, snowy weather all over California's higher elevations, and indeed frigid weather over almost all of the northern hemisphere!!
The wind hits 152 mph in California!!

And you know this is not just hype -- when even the oil prices are jumping because of huge worldwide demand from all the deep freeze!

And -- even tho the press seems to ignore some truths...
Many recent studies are really casting doubt on the data arguing for warming--
It gets a little silly when activists are telling you it's the warmest year ever according to their data..
but then you pick up other objective data -- and it says you are having the coldest year ever!

Finally someone other than me is out there debunking the lies and false data coming from the warmer crowd..
and the whole idea of manmade global warming is going down the tube..
http://is.gd/jad25

It has to be cooling NOT warming the evidence now proves..
http://is.gd/jafXp

BUT -- NEVER FEAR -- no matter how cold it gets and how many record cold snaps and snowfall -- there's always a plethora of bozos out there telling us this is all due to global warming!!

I swear, if the entire earth were frozen solid for 100 years, and glaciers were 1 mile deep in downtown Miami, there'd still be at least one bozo figuring the world is just gullible enough to believe that this is still all due to global warming!!


But I can play that game -- Hoe about this...?
I think all the evidence for recent warming -- is due to GLOBAL COOLING!! As long a ice levels and glacier thickness on Antarctica are INCREASING (and the ARE) and are at all time highs...
That must be depleting the rest of the world of ice and cold -- thus leaving a bit of extra warmth for certain regions, and then boneheadedly -- those people in those regions think it's"global warming" -- but they're just seeing the effect of COOLING!!!


Do you want to see the proof of all those record cold and ice depth figures from Antarctica that you never hear about in the warmer-loving press??

So just remember, that any time you read or hear about warming or glaciers melting -- for each such claim or study -- there are others to prove just the opposite...
and now it's been certified beyond question, that the data used to support warming is faulty and even false & corrupt data, and that in any location they can show warming (a few isolated spots, such as the Ross Ice Shelf) that the warming is a LOCAL phenomenon only -- and isn't it funny that the warmers always seem to be the first to jump to the argument that you can use freezing weather all across Europe or upper half of the US, because they claim those are just regional and local events!!
It's all in whose data you use -- but if you swallow the stuff the global warming activists have been peddling for decades, it is all obviously phony data to bolster their false pretenses.
The earth is just the same as it always has been -- warming and cooling -- going through cycles, and for every wild claim we see about warming and sea leveals rising -- we find those claims are bogus, can easily be debunked, and for each of them there's many reports of people starving from famine caused by freezing and cold weather!

In fact, BY FAR -- more people are starving or in danger due to cold in the world, than to warm.

Here's a final report to chew on -- right from this week in China -- where literally 1/4 or MORE of the world's population lives and is at risk from COLD WEATHER!!
Much of China is having extreme cold, blizzards, and severely HARSH cold weather -- and they had the same thing LAST YEAR, the year before, and the year before, as well.
They've had bitterly cold winters since 2008 -- and hundreds of Chinese are dying from the extreme cold...
it's not news you hear much -- but I will bring it to you, so you can see the truth..
I suggest trying to over to China and see if you can convince those 1.2 billion people about global warming!!
Ha, ha -- they're going to laugh at you -- and say if it is warming then hurry up!!!
