Davidson Dunk-O-Meter

[i77cat]

...In all the years I tracked this, we never outdunked the opponents for a season. We aren't likely to this year. Some dynamic dunk artists are apt to double our entire team's output for the year. I'm talking about high-flying, aggressive guys like Dayton's Obi Toppin. But we'll hold most teams well under their average...

Yep. So far this season we have 4 dunks. Our opponents have 9. I'm watching Dayton assault the rims in Maui tonight. They have 10 dunks. Obi Toppin has 5 tonight, putting him well over 100 for his career. Dayton wins it 89-62 over VPI.

Is it a misplaced memory (or wishful thinking) that I had Kellan slamming one on a drive, and getting the +1?

It was a nice layup. Near the rim. Even I'm not so starved for dunks that I'd count that one.

How about the ALLEEEEEEEY....oop from JAG to Luka early in the game? Luka was at the rim for the dunk, but gravity caught up with him by the time he'd gathered and shot the ball.

Another nice layup in a dunkless game.

Seriously? We've only surrendered 18 dunks in 11 games? That's superb. And we're averaging just over half a dunk per game. Britney Griner had 18 dunks in her Baylor career.

So we dunk at about the same rate, win or lose. We get dunked on much more frequently when we lose.

Have to take small comfort in these things: it was very nice ally-oop. (Tempered by the question that we all probably shared with announcer, "Where has that been?")

Obi Toppin just sparked a huge run by Dayton. Included in that run was his 55th dunk. Not for his career (he's well over 100 already). That's just his count for the season. Dayton is on a 39-14 run to take a 20 point lead with under 9 minutes to play.
