  • The NCAA career record is 385 (John Linehan, Providence, 1998 – 2002). He’s got 272 currently, 113 away.
  • The all-time record for number of steals in a season is 160 (!), set by Desmond Cambridge at Alabama A&M in 2002.
  • Mookie Blaylock (which was what the band was called before Pearl Jam) holds the single-game steals record at 13 set in 1987.

3. Out of Briante Weber, Darius Theus, Joey Rodriguez, and Eric Maynor who had the best assist to turnover ratio?

  • Darius Theus (2.6), Joey Rodriguez (2.3), Briante Weber (2.2), Eric Maynor (2.1)
  • Briante (1.846 TPG) and Darius (1.857 TPG) turn the ball over far less than the other two (Maynor — 2.971, Joey — 2.275).

Prognostication

  • Garino had 16 points
  • Jordair Jett had 3 turnovers
  • Chaz Williams has had eight points in his last two games. How many will he have against VCU. — 22
