MMBOD Dec 31: Andre Collins - Loyola (Md.)

By Kyle Whelliston on January 1, 2006 10:01 AM |

Reaganomics may not have helped the little guy very much, but there's a trickle-down effect in college basketball that works pretty well. At Maryland, Andre Collins was picked up as a backup for Steve Blake and spent a lot of time buried on the bench, but at Loyola (Md.) he's a star, showing up on the national PPG leaderboard. (OK, so maybe second-year Greyhounds coach and former UMD assistant Jimmy Patsos had something to do with it. But still!)

On Saturday, Collins won a scoring contest with Delaware's snap-shooter Calvin Cannon, pouring in 36 for his seventh team-leading performance of the year and moving his average up to 24.3 ppg. It was part of a 63% team shooting display and a 132.3 team offensive rating that was more woo-woo than voodoo. Talk about supply-side basketball.

Having recently completed its fourth season, The Mid-Majority is a blog about the 22 smaller Division I college basketball conferences (and independents) by me, Kyle Whelliston. I write for ESPN.com and Basketball Times, and maintain the Basketball State statistics website as well.

Here's a brief note on who we talk about, and why.
