Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 181897, member: 906"] [B]I think its more on the players then JB.[/B] [B]I think the big thing lately has been our upperclassmen have played poor especially on the offensive end. [U]And alot of it just loosing close games.[/U][/B] I did a stat of this recently and will throw it out there again. In 03-04 Bama shot 50% from the floor. We put up 71 but were just outscored. They had 22 assists to our 12. In 04-05 it was like 09-10 [B]Warrick had 10 turnovers. I believe jr Gmac shot something like 3-10[/B] from the field. We only put up 57 points thats not going to get it done. We had 24 turnovers. In 05-06 Against AandM [B]senior[/B] [B]Gerry shot 0-6 jr Nichols shot 2-7 our three point shooting was 4-19[/B] and they made 5 more freethrows which was the difference. In 06-07 no tournament In 07-08 no tournament In 08-09 againts OK we were outshot against. [B]Jrs Harris was 1-5 Jrs Devo and Rautins combined for 4 for 22.[/B] Flynn and rautins were the only two to hit double digits. In 09-10 [B]We didn't have the third guy to go to. Jackson was 2-7 Kris was 3-8 Jardine 5-13.[/B] Butler won with only 7 turnovers to our 18. Strange enough we beat them soundly across the board outside of Turnovers. In 10-11 we shot 14 percent better then MU from the field. They shot 23 foul shots to our 7. They shot 5-11 from three and had 4 more assists steals and rebounds. We just didn't take that game and win it on the offensive end. [B]Sr.[/B] [B]Rick was 3-6 with only 4 rebounds. We shot 55 percent from the field to their 41 yet only put up 62.[/B] Just a staggering stat that we lose with one two or three guys playing bad. [B]This team this year is special because our ball movement off the dribble is better then just about every team in the country[/B]. [B]A very rare stat[/B]. With the penetration of Triche, Dion, Scoop, KJO and MCW against a tight defense we have the heads to not settle for as many outside shots. and the ability to hit long twos at a staggering rate with the addition of Fair and Southerland to frustrate opponents. [SIZE=6]People try to make it sound like there is some formula to it. Its just a matter of each individual game[/SIZE] [SIZE=6]1. a few guys playing bad[/SIZE] [SIZE=6]2. our oppenents beating us in stats.[/SIZE] [SIZE=6]3. loosing some close ones.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
