Thank you. Exactly my point. Computer stats are interesting, but not all telling. If anyone thinks Creighton is the 2nd best performing team in the nation, well quit reading this post now. Having seen plenty of hoops from the ACC, Big 10, A-10, Pac 10, Big 12 and the Valley, kenpom can show his stats anyway he wants. Creighton is not the 2nd best "performing" team in the nation. Sorry.

Doug is a very crafty player and it is a subtle hook that he uses. I saw him use it 2 or 3 times last night, just as I've seen James Bell, Pinkston, & Ochefu from Nova use it. Difference is Bell, Pink, & Chef use their whole arm, wrapping below their elbow around a defender making it a quite obvious call. Doug is subtle, he just uses a little "chicken-wing hook", he doesn't use the whole arm just above the elbow. Now add in that he's 99.9% probably the POY, and the refs ain't making that call on him, even if it is an unfair advantage he creates with that move.
