I agree.

Wonder what change made it that way?

I know he was trying to find a school that would let him play basketball and football, but Rigdon isn't close to a D1 basketball player.

Hardly.

Columbus has attempted a total of 35 shots. Rigdon has half of the attempts (18)

and less than half of those 18 were quality looks. to be honest, they moved the ball better the last two minutes of the first half when he went out with 3 fouls than they had all game. There's no arguing that he's willed them to some wins to make it this far, but when the other team can slow him down, there's no adjusting.

First ever championship for Tatum.  Congratulations!  

Great season for Columbus.  I think they said 9 of 11 of their kids played football until the end of December.

Dude couldn't walk-on at a D1 IMO. I think AAW pointed it out last game: we know how he gets his high point numbers.

i agree. was surprised that Wyoming was supposedly letting him do both, not that it's a good program.

These are his stats from this game:

31 points on 10/28 shooting (28 of the team's 55 attempts), 3/14 from three, 8/16 from FT. 6 rebounds but led the team in turnovers with 7 and had only 1 assist.

Lot's of times he failed to get back on defense.

Like I said, he reminds me of Troy House who averaged 40 points a game but took 40 attempts a game to do it.
