Big Ten Scoring Leaders

[SmellyCat]

I have been following this closely for several weeks now, and Martinelli's lead is razor thin (see below). I knew he needed 18 last night to stay on top and he got those two free throws in the last minute to get to exactly 18. Here are the leaders:

Name	School	G	Pts	Avg
Martinelli	Northwestern	27	533	19.74
Garcia	Minnesota	26	513	19.73
Tonje	Wisconsin	26	510	19.62
Kaufman-Renn	Purdue	27	529	19.59
Williams	Nebraska	27	523	19.37
Harper	Rutgers	24	460	19.17
Bailey	Rutgers	25	465	18.60

Garcia and Tonje play tomorrow, in case you want to keep track yourself.

Can you post just B1G games? It's probably just as close but I think Kaufman Renn has been quite on the upswing

I can probably put together the numbers for those games as well. I think TKR and Tonje have been the best, but that's based on a guess.

	Overall	Conference	Non-Conference
Martinelli	19.74	19.75	19.73
Garcia	19.73	20.60	18.55
Tonje	19.62	19.53	19.73
Kaufman-Renn	19.59	20.44	18.36
Williams	19.37	19.81	18.73
Harper	19.17	16.00	22.91
Bailey	18.60	18.88	18.11

Our man is one consistent dude at a 0.02 difference conference vs non conference.

Kudos to Garcia and TKR for actually (significantly as others also did) raising their scoring against tougher competition. Though Purdue did play a pretty hard non conference schedule.

All very good players.

It seems that Martinelli and K-R are the only ones in that group who will be back next year, assuming the Rutgers kids declare for the NBA draft.

I think it's possible TKR will declare too, though he's not a slam dunk draft pick.

I don't see TKR as a good pro prospect. But I am terrible at evaluating that.

I have always been a Brice Williams fan. Great player, IMO. Nebby is going to miss him greatly.

Here's an update through the weekend. Martinelli is ahead by ONE point.

Name	School	G	Pts	Avg
Martinelli	Northwestern	27	533	19.74
Tonje	Wisconsin	27	532	19.70
Garcia	Minnesota	27	524	19.41
Harper	Rutgers	25	485	19.40
Williams	Nebraska	27	523	19.37
Kaufman-Renn	Purdue	28	538	19.21
Bailey	Rutgers	26	479	18.42

The only player above with a scheduled game Monday is Brice Williams at home against Michigan,

Garcia was 3 for 16 Saturday. We can only hope that holds for Tuiesday.
