Fresno State vs. UTEP Card Sets



I'm going to post the card sets for the next game, a home game against Fresno State.

Fresno State's cards are based on their current stats in the WAC conference. All player names have been changed.

As for the UTEP cards, all the "good stats" (except free throws) are altered by a factor of 1.104, as Conference USA is about 10.4 percent better than that WAC based on RPI conference strength.

This should be a good game. Fresno State comes from a weaker conference, but they're the best team in that weaker conference. Furthermore, they shoot better than UTEP does but they are only 10 players deep. A lot of factors - team defense, shooting accuracy, forced rests - should come into play. I'm hoping this is a good game.

  1. My favorite player at Fresno State is Bailey Amundsen. "Lesa Blumenfield" looks like Amundsen. When she shoots threes, imagine that she's 23 feet out, but manages to beat everyone to the offensive board if she misses.

  2. Actually, it's Amie Havener who turned out to be Bailey Amundsen. I know that you follow west coast basketball very closely, so I knew that you'd probably be very familiar with Fresno State's strengths and weaknesses as a team.

    I'm going to imagine Havener as zooming right to the basket after she shoots the long range shot, sort of a like a bowling ball heading for a set of pins.
