| Friday's Rotation |
When you
analyze statistics, especially nontraditional statistics like plus/minus, you
have to take it with a grain of salt. Still, some things continue to be present
game after game. That’s the case with junior forward Gus Leeper.
Leeper
played only 12 minutes in Friday night’s loss at Memphis. He didn’t score, had
only 2 rebounds and missed his only two field goal attempts. But while he was
in the game, UALR outscored Memphis 18-13.
And it’s not
a one-time occurrence. Leeper is +13 for the season, making him +1.4 for each
game played. UALR is +0.11 for every minute Leeper has played this season. That’s
not a huge number. If he played 30 minutes it would translate to UALR
outscoring its opponent by 3.3 when he was in. But it’s a bigger number than
anyone else has put up this season.
Leeper and
sophomore Kemy Osse (+3 in 14 minutes) were the only two Trojans on the plus
side on Friday.
