The Shotgun/Throwdown: West Virginia’s “Big Three” among the best in the country

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

It has been a relatively slow week for sports, with finals week going on at West Virginia University. But something interesting came out about the WVU men’s basketball team and some of its players.

Tre Mitchell, Emmitt Matthews Jr., and Mohamed Wague have combined for the highest adjusted team efficiency margin of any three teammates in the country, with a 67.2 margin putting them at the top of the ranking. The adjustment in the efficiency margin accounts for the quality of the players’ opponents.
