Fresh Stats

Ohio’s most prolific scorers come from an unlikely group

By Logan Adams | For The Post

Throughout the season, Ohio has seen outlier contributions from its freshman group. With five players, it is one of the Mid-American Conference’s largest groups of first-years and, objectively, the conference’s most productive group in the class.

Ohio’s freshmen account for nearly half of its points per game as a team, totaling a combined 29.3 points per game out of Ohio’s 63 points per game. Both of those marks sit atop the MAC, displaying how important the freshmen have been to the Bobcats early on.

Accounting for just conference play, their combined points per game would increase to 33.1, making up 52.8% of Ohio’s 62.7 points per game against MAC competition.

The significance of this for the Bobcats’ future should not be understated. Getting these kinds of contributions from the youngest members of the team is not only good for the time being, but also an excellent indicator of growth moving forward.
