Player Performance vs Big Ten opposition

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

This big table shows the ratio of Points Scored/Points Allowed for each player in NU's rotation this season, in 16 Big Ten games.
For example, when Brooks Barnhizer was on the court for NU, we scored 641 points, but allowed 686.
That ratio is 0.934, which is entered in bold text as Barnhizer with Barnhizer.
All two man combos are represented - the numbers when both players were on the court at the same time.
As always garbage time is eliminated.

For the record, Blake Smith was left out of the table, but NU scored 48 points and allowed 70 when he was on the court (0.686).
For the 16 Big Ten games, excluding garbage time, NU scored 1133 and allowed 1168. That total point ratio is 0.9700.
KJ Windham leads the team with a 1.131 rating. Luke Hunger trails with a 0.856 rating.

Its always fun to look for combos that seem to have chemistry and combos that seem to struggle.
Windham and Leach put up a 1.246 ratio when paired. To me that indicated that Leach liked to play off the ball when Windham handled it.
Interestingly, Ty Berry's highest 2 man combination (1.156) is also with Windham, probably for the same reason.
Mullins, Ciaravino and Windham all seem to get along well on the court, with all three of those combos between 1.25 and 1.30.

Barnhizer's pairings tended to underperform the team average, with the notable exception of his time with Angelo Ciaravino, which occurred when Ciaravino replaced Ty Berry in the starting lineup.
That lineup was our most successful of the season, but dissolved with Barnhizer's injury.

The 1.297 Windham/Jello combo makes me smile. Something about how the two of them are going to be leaders of the team for years to come. How many minutes have they played together and what are the raw point numbers?

On the other hand, the low Barnhizer/Berry number probably can probably be attributed to their injuries and that they were never both 100% healthy at the same time.

I see Leach, Martinelli and Nicholson all bunched very tightly, so I could see arguing that they're all about equally effective in their roles.
Barnhizer was our best player until he got hurt - and then he wasn't.

They're currently 131-101 in 65.6 minutes.
I agree with your positive take on Windham, Ciaravino.
But I'm hoping Mullins has chemistry with those two as well.
