Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4464455, member: 289"] I will again be doing a report after each game this season and a summary report at the end of each month. (I’ve eliminated some stats from previous years to streamline this post.) This is limited to recruited scholarship players only. Net Points (points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks minus missed field goals and free throws, turnovers and personal fouls) Average net points/40 by position, (based on averaging 20+ minutes per game), since the 1980-81 season: Centers 18.6; Power Forwards: 18.4; Small Forwards: 16.1, Shooting Guards: 13.3; Point Guards: 13.5 Jesse Edwards +23NP in 31 minutes = +127NP in 174 minutes = +29.2NP/40 for season Justin Taylor +18NP in 26 minutes = +28NP in 78 minutes = +14.4NP/40 for season Symir Torrence +9NP in 20 minutes = +31NP in 110 minutes = +11.3NP/40 for season Chris Bell +6NP in 28 minutes = +20NP in 133 minutes = +6.0NP/40 for season John Bol Ajak +5NP in 27 minutes = +7NP in 31 minutes = +9.0NP/40 for season Maliq Brown +3NP in 4 minutes = +23NP in 46 minutes = +20.0NP/40 for season Quadir Copeland 0NP in 1 minutes = +7NP in 45 minutes = +6.2NP/40 for season Benny Williams 0NP in 9 minutes = +36NP in 180 minutes = +8.0NP/40 for season Peter Carey -1NP in 9 minutes = -2NP in 20 minutes = -4.0NP/40 for season Joe Girard -1NP in 38 minutes = +50NP in 203 minutes = +9.9NP/40 for season Judah Mintz -2NP in 9 minutes = +66NP in 177 minutes = +14.9NP/40 for season DNP coach’s decision None Injured or ill and couldn’t play Mounir Hima 0NP in 0 minutes = +23NP in 57 minutes = +16.1NP/40 for season Suspended None Redshirting None Out for the year None Left Team None Awards Offensive Dude of the Game, (O-Dog) (Points plus assists) Justin Taylor 25 points and 0 assists = 25 Shooting Efficiency (Points minus missed field goal and free throw attempts) Justin Taylor 25 points – 3mfg – 3mft = +19 Scoring Efficiency (Percentage of points scored divided by points they would have scored if they made every shot- minimum 10 possible points) Justin Taylor 25 points of 37= 67.6% My Man (Who played the most minutes?) Joe Girard 36 minutes TEAM STATS Possession Rebounding (Add each team’s offensive rebounds to their opponent’s defensive rebounds. Then figure the offensive rebounds as a percentage of that) We rebounded 14 of our 39 misses = 35.9% They rebounded 11 of their 40 misses = 27.5% Unsettled Situations [Second Chance Points+ Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers) We had 31 points in 25 unsettled situations = 1.240 points/situation They had 25 points in 24 unsettled situations = 1.042 points/situation Manufactured Possessions (One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers) We had 43 + 11 = 54 They had 38 + 13 = 49 Scoring Shooting (Shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws) We were 18 for 36 on twos, (50.0%), 6 for 24 on threes (25.0%) and 18 for 24 on frees (75.0%) They were 17 for 32 on twos, (53.1%), 7 for 28 on threes (25.0%) and 18 for 23 on frees (78.3%) Points (PIP= points in the paint, “The Inner Sanctum” POP = points outside the paint, which is total points – PIP -free throws made OL= points from “The Outer Limits” (three point shots) TZ= “Twilight Zone”, which is POP – TREY, (two point jumpers from outside the paint) FT = Free Throws We had 24 PIP, 30 POP, 18 OL, 12 TZ, 18 FT They had 34 PIP, 21 POP, 21 OL, 0 TZ, 18 FT Fast Break Percentage (FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals) We scored 10 FBP in 38 opportunities (26.3%) They scored 15 FBP in 31 opportunities (48.4%) First Chance/Second Chance (FCP is First Chance Points, which is total points - second chance points – fast break points – free throws made. SCP is second chance points.) We had 24 FCP and 20 SCP They had 32 FCP and 8 SCP Starters/Bench (Total points – bench points = starters points) Our starters scored 38 points and our bench scored 34 points. Their starters scored 62 points and their bench scored 11 points. Efficiency Assists (The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted) We assisted 13 of our 24 field goals = 54.1% They assisted 12 of their 24 field goals = 50.0% Team Offensive Possession Efficiency (Possessions: Field goals attempted - offensive rebounds + turnovers + 47.5% of free throws attempted. Efficiency is total points divided by possessions) We scored 72 points in 70 possessions = 1.029 points/ possession They scored 73 points in 71 possessions = 1.028 points/possession It was a 141-possession game. If we just use FGA + (47.5% FTA) and thus count an offensive rebound as an additional possession and a turnover as a lost possession: We scored 72 points in 71 possessions = 1.014 points/ possession They scored 73 points in 71 possessions = 1.028 points/possession Team Shooting Efficiency (Points minus missed field goals and free throws) We scored 72 points, missed 36 field goals and missed 6 free throws = net +30 They scored 73 points, missed 36 field goals and missed 5 free throws = net +32 (Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot) We scored 72 on 36 two-point attempts, 24 three-point attempts and 24 free throw attempts = 72 of a possible 168 points = 42.9% of possible points scored. They scored 73 on 32 two-point attempts, 28 three-point attempts and 23 free throw attempts = 73 of a possible 171 points = 42.7% of possible points scored. Fouls (Most fouls are called on two point shot attempts.) We attempted 36 two-point shots and were fouled 18 times = 2.00 They attempted 32 two-point shots and were fouled 23 times = 1.39 Comments: - It seems to me that out best player is not Judah Mintz but rather Jesse Edwards. We had 20 second chance points to 8 for Bryant. That’s Jesse. - Joe Girard has finally achieved consistency: he’s had -1 net points in 38 minutes for two games in a row. When he scored 31 points he was 8 for 13 inside the arc, 4 for 11 outside of it. In these last two games he’s 2/9 inside, 1 for 12 outside. - In a game where we had to play a lot of people, the player who got the least minutes was Quadir Copeland: 1. Part of that was that we needed Justin Taylor and Chris Bell to hit shots. But I wonder if JB wants Quadir to get a bit less fancy and more into the flow of the game. Just wondering. - Both teams were 24 for 60 from the field. Both teams hit 25% of their three pointers and 18 free throws. Bryant won by 1 because one more of their field goals was a three pointer. - Bryant, much the shorter team, out-scored us in the paint 34-24 and out-shot us inside the arc 53% to 50%. - We had more Pop, 30-21 and won the Twilight Zone 12-0, due to Chris bell moving to the top of the key and Justin Taylor talking open shots whether they were threes or not. Those two were 5 for 13 from outside the arc but 7 for 9 inside of it. Two pointers that go in are worth more than three pointers who don’t. - In 70 possessions we had just 24 first chance points. Thank God for Jesse. - Amazingly, we won the bench scoring battle, 34-8, thanks to JT. Unfortunately, our starters got outscored 34-62 and we lost the game. You won’t see another split like that again. - It was a rare game in other ways, too. We had more assists and a higher percentage of assisted baskets, (and lost, as often happens). Using the traditional possession formula, we were microscopically more efficient, 1.029-1.028. (The actual game winner wins that stat 99+% of the time.) - The refs have called more fouls on us, per 2 point field goal attempts for five games in a row now. This was actually the most fouls called on the other team per our two point attempts of the year, (36/18 = 2.00) but Bryant got calls even more than that, (32/23 = 1.39, the lowest number of the season). There were likely more fouls called in this gamer than prior ones because of the impact of the early brawl: they wanted to get and keep command of the game. For the year, we’ve attempted 258 two pointers and been fouled 91 times = 2.84 while our opposition has attempted 186 twos and drawn 96 fouls = 1.94. Of course that doesn’t mean the calls aren’t legit: we have a young team with a lot of new players that haven’t played on this level, this much or together before. But 258/196 x 96 = 126 – 91 = 35. If we’d gotten 35 more calls – or been called 35 fewer times, our record might be a lot different. (I use two point attempts because it’s the one start that would more relate to the number of fouls called: they produce more calls than frees or other events.) [/QUOTE]
