I have added Matt Davet of Emory to the rookie scoring list based on his point production per 40 min. (unofficial calculation)

Thanks to WUH for commenting about him in the CCIW forum relating to today's Illinois Wesleyan v Emory game.

Matt Davet is currently shooting 21-41, 13-27 from 3 pt land for the season. (48.1% from 3 pt land for the season).

He had a 12 pt game last time out vs Guilford-- 4 3's made in that game.

Davet is averaging 12.4 minutes off the bench this season-- making him a quick impact player for Emory.

[deiscanton]

Whit Rapp started for Emory last time out vs Guilford and had a 9 point, 8 assist performance in his first game back from injury.

I will be watching Illinois Wesleyan vs Emory later today.

Update-- Rapp played against Piedmont before missing the next six games of the season due to injury.

Justin Hanover on the Emory webcast has stated that Romin Williams is not playing today's game vs Illinois Wesleyan due to a stomach bug.

Back to the game...

[deiscanton]

 Emory up 32-26 at the half.

I had to follow the rest of the first half on live stats after the live video stream cut out with 8:27 remaining in the half.

Hopefully video will be up and running soon...

After Wash U's win today over Westminster of the SLIAC there have been a couple of posts on the SLIAC board talking about the Bears' freshman Jack Nolan and his three point shooting so far. I must say, having seen him today, that he is good -- reminds me of Aaron Thompson in that regard. They don't shoot exactly alike, but both have a very natural way of making it look easy. I think Thompson cooled off a bit his senior year, but wonder where he stands in the Wash U record books for three pointers.

Aaron Thompson is #2 all time in the Wash U record books on three pointers with 289 made over his career at Wash U.

Gene Nolan, the uncle of current Wash U player Jack Nolan, is #1 all time at Wash U in career 3 pointers with 296 made over his career at Wash U from 1992 to 1996.

#10 on that list is Sean Wallis with 150 career 3 pointers made.

Why has Rapp only played in 4 games for Emory?

Why has Rapp only played in 4 games for Emory?

Whit Rapp was injured between the Piedmont and Guilford games and did not play while he was recovering from that injury.  As to the extent of the injury or where, I cannot confirm those details, as Emory did not disclose those details, but that was the reason.

He returned to action on December 16 vs Guilford in the starting lineup, and is healthy now.

Since coming back from injury, Whit Rapp had an 8 assist/1 turnover game vs Guilford, a 5 assist/2 turnover game vs Illinois Wesleyan, and a 7 assist/4 turnover game vs Transylvania.  Emory plays Oglethorpe tonight before UAA play starts on Saturday.

I am not worried about Rapp missing 6 non-conference games.  Rapp still averages 7.3 assists a game and has a 3.2 assist/turnover ratio going into tonight's Oglethorpe game, and is 5 games away from the 60% appearance game requirement needed to be officially listed among the overall stat leaders in the UAA in those categories.  As for conference play, he can be listed in those categories in league play right away after Saturday's UAA opener vs Rochester.
