Valley Women Staring Down the ‘Power 5’s’--Valley Hoops Insider



College basketball player awards: Pitt’s Carlton Carrington rides triple-double to Freshman honors--Heat Check CBB

Surgeon: Cade Tyson, Belmont

Thresholds: 35.0 3P%, 50.0 far 2P%, 65.0 close 2P%, 80.0 FT% (min. 10 2PA, 10 3PA, 5 FTA)

When playing the second-fastest pace in America, it’s important to have a player who can hit a shot from anywhere on the court. Belmont has exactly that in Tyson. The sophomore started the year off with 29 points in an 89-87 win over Georgia State, knocking down five 3-pointers and shooting 9-of-12 on the day. He was off the mark on Saturday against Furman, though, going 4-of-13 from the field and 0-for-5 from deep, but make no mistake: Tyson is a worthy Surgeon. Last year, he shot 41.7 percent on 3-pointers (113 3PA), 53.4 percent on 2s (174 2PA), and 85.5 percent from the stripe (83 FTA).
