THANKS FOR THE BALL!<br />
A hallmark of Newberry’s “all out, all the time” style is defensive<br />
pressure. Making your opponent make mistakes can only help<br />
yourself.<br />
That harrassment helped Newberry force 24.4 turnovers per<br />
<strong>game</strong> and have a plus-1.7 turnover margin.<br />
At Carson-Newman, the Wolves set what may be an unofficial<br />
SAC record, as C-N turned the ball over 39 times, a rate of<br />
nearly a turnover per minute.<br />
At <strong>12</strong>.7 steals per <strong>game</strong>, the Wolves finished second nationally<br />
in that category<br />
The SAC record for steals per <strong>game</strong> average is 13.68, set by<br />
Mars Hill in 2008-09 (383 steals in 28 <strong>game</strong>s).<br />

DONATING AT THE CHARITY STRIPE<br />
In 2010-11, the Wolves obliterated the South Atlantic Conference<br />
record for the most free throws attempted in a season, with<br />
900 attempts at the free throw stripe in 27 <strong>game</strong>s.<br />
The previous record was 863 attempts in 34 <strong>game</strong>s by the<br />
2006-07 Wingate squad.<br />
Newberry also set the SAC record for made free throws, with<br />
599 made free throws, breaking the 2006-07 Wingate team’s record<br />
of 568.<br />
Newberry’s opponents also set the SAC record for free throws<br />
made (649, old record was 524), and attempts (880, old record<br />
790). The opponents’ free throw percentage was also a SAC record<br />
(.738, old record .731).<br />
ON THE BOARDS<br />
Newberry’s all-out style requires the players to crash the boards<br />
on missed shots, and with that will come some gaudy numbers.<br />
The Wolves tied a SAC record for most rebounds in a season<br />
with 43.6 rebounds per <strong>game</strong>. The 2009-10 Lincoln Memorial<br />
team also had 43.6 rpg.<br />
Newberry’s average of 17.9 offensive rebounds per <strong>game</strong> also<br />
broke the previous SAC record of 16.07 orpg set by the 2009-10<br />
Mars Hill squad.<br />
TICKLING THE TWINE<br />
While the win-loss record wasn’t in Newberry’s favor all of the<br />
time, the Wolves continued to put on an impressive offensive<br />
display in 2010-11, ranking sixth nationally in points per <strong>game</strong><br />
at the end of the season.<br />
