Spencer Farrin to the rescue

Calling him a savant doesn't give him enough credit for the hours he puts in so PTW will simply say it's Assistant Media Relations Director Spencer Farrin to the rescue regarding anything Vandal basketball related. He came through once again fulfilling the request to know about Idaho's 'Points in the Paint' and more:
Last season, Idaho outscored its opponents 912-862 overall and 28.5 - 26.9 per game in the paint. So far this season, Idaho has a 781-695 margin (30.0 - 26.7 per game).

Last year, Idaho scored 30+ paint points 16 times. Through 26 games this year, Idaho already has 16 total games of 30+ paint points.

This season, Idaho has scored 43.2 percent of its points in the paint (781/1807). Last season, that figure was 42.0 percent (912/2172).

Also interesting (I would have thought this to be the other way around), is that Idaho had 6.31 made 3-pointers per game last year and they’re averaging 6.54 per game this year.
So call the Idaho season to date a 'doing it better' one.
