FRIDAY’S SINGLE DIGITS
>>> For what it is worth, the NBA All-Star Game favorite has covered four years in a row and five of the last six . . . And last year -- the first not to pit East vs. West -- was just the second Under in 13 years. (I guess they expect you to play some defense when someone’s actual name is on the team.).
>>> In the 2016 All-Star Game -- the likes of which we may never see again -- there was a shot every 10.07 seconds (286 in 48 minutes).
>>> In their game Thursday, Drexel’s James Butler and James Madison’s Dwight Wilson each had more offensive rebounds (each had six) than any of their teammates had total rebounds for the game.
>>> Penn hosts Dartmouth Friday, which makes it a kind of anniversary for Quakers senior guard Jackson Donahue. You see, it was the Dartmouth game at the Palestra last season in which Donahue last made a two-point field goal. Since then, in 26 games, he is 0-for-6 on two-pointers and 16-for-46 on three-pointers . . . By the way, those 16 “3s” ties Winthrop’s Raivis Scerbinskis for most without any “2s” this season . . . In 2015-16, Oakland’s Max Hooper was 117-for-257 from the arc but did not even attempt two-pointer.
