Modernized reviews that arrive at Ac Buffs Record Book – Boulder Daily Camera

Julian Hammond III has the opportunity to overcome a former teammate for a prominent team record. Whether or not, KJ Simpson’s reign as the percentage leader of free throws for the season is coming to an end after only one year.

The official record book of the Colorado Male Basketball Team is obtaining an extensive review to obtain the historical records of the Buffaloes in line with the modern standards of the NCAA. This will be a continuous process, and the final reviews of the record book were not completed until the low season. But the only brand at stake for the team with difficulties this year is Hammond’s challenge in the percentage of free throws of the Cu season.

Simpson, who scored 16 points on the team for the Charlotte Hornets in a defeat on Tuesday night against Golden State, broke the percentage record of free throws of Cu last year, in .876 (163 of 186). That exceeded the previous brand of .866 established by Cory Higgins during 2010-11. Before Higgins, the two main free throwing percentages of the season in the Cu registration book belonged to Chaunley Billups, who registered a .861 mark in 1995-96 and a mark of .854 the following year.

However, the review of the records is separating all those brands for Rob González. During the 1982-83 season, the former Cu striker out of Detro led the NCAA with a percentage of free .915 throws. However, that Mark has not been reflected in Cu standards because the previous minimum standard of the program to qualify for the record book was 145 attempts in a season.

González left 75 by 82 in 28 games, being well below that standard. The NCAA standard is at least 2.5 free throws per game, while playing at least 75% of the games. González complies with the NCAA standard, and as the renowned free kick leader for the 1982-83 season, the belief of Cu is that it should be reflected in his own registration book.

Hammond, however, still has the opportunity to rewrite that list once more. When addressing Big 12 on Sunday in Kansas State (2 PM MT, ESPN+), Hammond has a .902 mark on the line (74 of 82). If the buffs are eliminated in the first game of the Big 12 tournament, the magic number of Hammond to qualify for the list of the percentage leaders of free throws of the Cu season is 80 free throws. If the buffs win a game in the conference tournament, that number becomes 83 free throws.

Arrive

After a mid -season pause, the Center Elijah Malone has enjoyed a slight resurgence in recent weeks.

Malone left 4 of 8 from the bank with eight points and five rebounds during Monday’s defeat against Kansas. Malone has averaged 6.6 points in the last five games while fired .538 (14 of 26). The former Naia All-American scored 13 points in the total in the previous six games while it was 3 of 12.

The chief coach of Cu, Tad Boyle, also praised the advances Malone has made on the defensive side.

“I think Elijah is starting to solve it,” Boyle said. “Once again, this is a new level for him and has taken time to solve it. He has now made the defensive moves, one against the state of Iowa, one against Baylor, one (against Kansas), which would not even have done it three weeks ago, two weeks ago. So he is starting to solve it as a defender of the ball screen. It is a good low scorer. Elijah has to understand, when do you have to use your strength and muscle, and when do you need to use your ability?

“Your level of activity, its level of effort, is improving, there is no doubt about it. And his rebound is improving. “

Remarkable

He did a light training on Wednesday and will resume complete training on Thursday before the date of Sunday in Ksu. … With Baylor’s defeat on Tuesday in Cincinnati, the buffs lost their second quad 1 victory of the season their biggest book. The Bears fell to number 31 in the Ranking of the Network on Wednesday, which makes the victory last week a quad 2 victory, but will become a quad 1 victory again if Baylor returns to the top 30 of the network.
