To preview IU's showdown at Penn State tomorrow afternoon, I thought I'd take a look at some of the numbers in Big Ten play.
A lot of people questioned how much IU's numbers were inflated in non-conference play. While the University of Maryland, Baltimore County isn't exactly a Big Ten team, IU's starting five continued to boast some impressive numbers in conference play without sixth man Will Sheehey.
-IU has averaged 71 points per game
-IU has allowed 74 points per game
-IU starters have scored in double figures 67 percent of the time
-IU starters have scored 87 percent of the points
-No IU bench player has scored double figures in a game
-IU has shot 44 percent from beyond the arc
-IU has shot 47 percent from the field
-IU has made exactly 27 field goals in each game
-Christian Watford has averaged 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and has shot 58 percent from 3-point range
-Cody Zeller has averaged 12 points per game
-Zeller has averaged just under 4 rebounds per game compared to just over 7 per game in non-conference play
-Every IU starter has a negative plus/minus
-Jordan Hulls is the only IU starter not averaging double digit points
-Matt Roth has played 15 minutes per game, the most of any IU bench player
-Roth has the highest average plus/minus at +5
-IU is averaging 34 points in the first half compared to 37 in the second half
