Epidemic this year by the numbers but also has been in years past

18 of our 27 games and this is nothing new I did a post about this last year and probably once or twice in years past it’s almost every single game

Had eight points the first eight minutes. Then the last 12 had 29. That’s 2 1/2 times better scoring rate the last 12 minutes than the first eight

Why not use the rate over all 40 minutes? Both per game and over a season? Seems typical for a team that is doing just enough to have a winning record to have long droughts, that's been SU the last 2 years. You never see teams pressing from the start of a game either, so maybe a lower scoring rate is typical for most teams in the first X minutes, until both teams execute better over time? Interesting data.

Because the point is slow starts so you have to compare the start of the game versus how the game shakes out pretty simple. More and more opponents our scoring at twice the rate of the game in the first 5 mins. This is thread is more about our offense than our defense though.
But getting off to the slow starts is if not one problem our offense then it’s our offense is really behind game pace.

I agree whole heartedly with the OP. It's like groundhog day. At the first TV timeout we almost always are averaging less than a point per minute. I constantly text my friends about it. About the 13 minute mark left in the 1st half we finally start playing offense. It comical at this point. It has nothing to with our defense or who is leading.

I am speaking about the first 4to 8 minutes so then we pick it up and that’s why we want some of the first 10
