I checked the box from the Duke game. Amazingly, even though we only had 44 in total, eleven of those came from matt & Chuk. That is not going to happen again. That leaves 33 from the rest of the team.

So the bottom line is that everybody else has to be twice as good. Give Chuk 4 or 5 & that actually would get us to 70.

Now, if we look at how bad the rest of the team was (excluding Matt & Chuk that game), they shot for a combined 12 for 47.

While, it might be a stretch for everybody else to be twice as good, it would certainly seem that everybody else combined should be at least 50% better. So, at 50% better, the 33 goes to 49 or 50. Add five for Chuk and we get to 55.

If the rest improve 65% instead of 50%, that gets them to 55 - add 5 for Chuk and voila we are at 60. They only scored 60 in a rout against us, and we are playing much better D right now.

So, I agree with OP that we need to get to 60+ to win. The mathematical formula to get that done is above.

Now, it is simply up to Jimmy to coach em up 65%+ from the last time we played Duke.
