Interesting to look at his IU stats in conference v. Butler stats in conference, per every 40M played:
IU Joey: 12.8 pts, 10.1 rebs, .8 assists, shooting 50% on 2s, 35% on FTs
Butler Joey: 15.6 pts, 6.7 rebs, 2.2 assists, shooting 57% on 2s, 63% on FTs
His defensive efficiency # (104.7 DRtg) is much better at IU than at Butler (112.8).....I realize part of that may be related to IU's team defense this year v. Butler's last year.
I think offensively JB ran into a bit of a buzz saw this year with the # of skilled big men defenders in the Big 10, as shown by the 2 pt %s.......looks like that resulted in a Fitzner loss of confidence decline in his FT shooting.
