Some might enjoy this website:

It shows a bunch of Creighton basketball records and other stats. A few stood out.

- Looking at pure numbers, Chad Gallagher deserves more consideration for any Top 10 all-time CU lists.

- Paul Silas averaged - repeat AVERAGED - 21.6 rebounds per game in his college career. Damn.

- All-time "offensive rebound percentage" leader in Creighton history? You guessed it. Fred King!

- All-time "Win Shares Per 40 Minutes" (started tracking in 1995) leader in CU history? You guessed it. Livan Pyfrom! Just ahead of Kyle Korver. Doug Swenson had a higher win share than Doug McDermott. McBuckets is the #2 Doug in CU history! I'm beginning to doubt the value of this metric.

- Creighton's average margin of victory over Texas A&M in program history? 23 points. Feel free to use this against Husker basketball fans.

Great find :)

Gallagher and Harstad were pretty amazing

Altman was a genius in how he used Pyfrom, but they probably need a better cutoff in that metric - Pyfrom didn't even make 12 minutes a game for his career!
