Stats can be deceiving, or that's what they say.
I have a few thoughts on SDSU's men's players and how they play at home and away.
For example, I figured Chad White is a better player at home than on the road, while all-world Nate Wolters plays better on the road. Where is Jordan Dykstra a better player?
So, let's go to the stats. I selected SDSU's home, away and neutral location games, along with games where SDSU won or lost. Players with significant playing time are listed here.

The takeaways:
• Look at the difference in the performances from Dykstra and White in losses.
• Granted, SDSU lost those games for reasons that go beyond those two but it shows how
important those two are to the operation.
• Fiegen is a much better shooter at home, converting 15 percent more shots in home games.
• Heemstra is scary consistent in his game. This is a good sign going forward for SDSU.
• Carlson has better numbers in road games and even better in the two neutral games this year. He has
14 games this year where he's scored 10 or more points and five of those have come in Brookings.
• Wolters' numbers are pretty nuts in both losses and on the road, shooting 29 percent better away from Frost.
Sometimes your hunch can lead to something after all.
