Yogi Ferrell has made at least one 3-point field goal in 51 straight games - an IU record - and the longest active streak in the country.
 
With one exception, whenever Yogi is our high scorer,

we lose. That was the case with the OSU, MSU, Eastern Washington, and Georgetown losses; The only exception was the Louisville game, when Blackmon was the high scorer, and Yogi was second.
 
Correlation does not equal causation.

I'm not even going to justify this with a response...I would assume you can see why your statistic is misleading.
 
When the rest of the team is not contributing, we lose.

No causality is implied. please notice I indicated an exception: the Louisville game, when Yogi was not high scorer.

Last year, Yogi tried to singlehandedly win some games, and he didn't always succeed. This year, no one doubts that he was the reason we won the Butler game with his aggressive second half play.
