Take all the positives: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks and subtract the negatives: missed field goals, miss free throws, turnovers and fouls. The result is “Net Points.” (NP). M = minutes.

Trevor Cooney -1NP in 6M season: +38NP in 130M per 40M: +11.7NP
Comment: Southerland, after being MIA since the Arkansas explosion, had a strong comeback game. Now we need to get Cooney going again. If we could get both of them going at once from both sides of the court with MCW in the middle, passing to them or down low, we are going to blow up scoreboards all over the Big East.
The following players have led the team in net points in a game this year: Michael Carter-Williams and James Southerland (3), CJ Fair (2) and Brandon Triche (1).
Shooting Breakdown: SU was 26/48, (.596) from inside the arc, (17/26 in the second half .654), 8/14 from outside, (.571) and 9/18 from the line (.500). Canisius was 8/27 (.296- 2 for 13 in the second half), 12/30, (.400), and 9/12, (.750). For the season we are .536/.337/.657 and our opponents are .366/.273/.654. 23 of our 34 baskets were assisted, (68%), vs. 11 of Canisius‘s 20, (55%).
POP: I’ll credit the Axeman for naming this. A common stat is “points in the paint”. But what about the points outside the paint? The game gets a lot harder if you have to plow through the defense to get to the basket to score. Jump shots, (and not just three pointers), are an important part of any team’s offense. You can’t rely on them too much as they are the most inconsistent part of the game but you have to have the capacity to score over the defense or else you are likely to struggle. The formula is simple: Total points minus points in the paint minus free throws.
We scored 85 points in this game, 40 in the paint and 9 from the foul line. Thus we had 36 POP, or 42% of our points. Canisius had 40 POP, or 66%. We averaged 28 POP last year, 33% of our points. So far this year we are again averaging 29 POP, 34% of our scoring. Our opponents have averaged 24 POP, but that’s been 42% of their scoring.
The “Offensive Dude of the Game”, (points + assists) was Michael Carter-Williams with 12 points and 14 assists for a total of 26. So far the following players have been “Offensive Dudes”: Michael Carter-Williams (6), James Southerland (2) and Brandon Triche (1).
Rebounding: Syracuse had 12 offensive and 22 defensive rebounds. Canisius had 16 offensive and 21 defensive rebounds. That means that when we missed, we got the rebound 36% of the time. When they missed, they got the rebound 42% of the time. It was the first time we’d been out-rebounded since the San Diego State game. For the year we have rebounded 40.4% of our misses and the opposition have rebounded 29.5% of theirs. Canisius had 19 turnovers, of which 9 were Syracuse steals, (47%). Syracuse had 10 turnovers of which 3 were Canisius steals, (30%). We had 53 “manufactured” possessions, (our rebounds + their turnovers). Canisius had 47. We are an average of +15 MP for the year.
And, thanks to Blacksquirrels and Knicks411, I now understand how to compute “points per possession, (field goal attempts – offensive rebounds + turnovers plus 47.5% of free throws attempted) and here they are:
Syracuse: 62 FGA minus 12 offensive rebounds plus 10 turnovers plus 47.5% of 18 free throws = 68.55 possessions. The possessions can’t be more than one off so I’ll call that 68 possessions in which we scored 85 points or 1.250 points per possession. We are 1.115 on the season. Last season it was 1.126. Our offense really isn’t quite performing at full capacity yet.
Canisius: 57-16+19 plus 47.5% of 12 = 65.7 possessions. Let’s call that 67 possessions, (so we won’t be more than one off) in which they scored 61 points or 0.910 points per possession. They are 0.774 on the season. Last season it was 0.927.
I decided it should be a goal to score at least 15 points in every 10 minute “quarter” of the game, (college is the only level that doesn’t have quarters). You want to score more than that, of course, but if we can avoid falling under 15 in any ten minute period we should have a good scoring average because we’ll have 20 and 25 point quarters as well. The “quarterly” splits in this game were 20-14, 15-18, 23-13, 27-16. For the year, the average score per quarter is 20-14, 20-13, 23-13, 22-16. Last year the averages per quarter were: 19-13, 19-12, 21-14, 22-16. We’ve missed the 15 point mark 5 times in 32 quarters this year and lost 6 quarters, the first three of them by a single point.
