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 12 of our 31 misses = 38.7%
They rebounded 13 of their 45 misses = 28.9%

Effective Offensive Rebounding
(Divide second chance points by the offensive rebounds)
We got 15 points on 12 O-Rebs = 1.250 points/O-reb
They got 7 points on 13 O-Rebs = 0.538 points/O-reb

Unforced Turnovers
(Total turnovers – the other team’s steals = unforced turnovers)
We had 15 turnovers – 6 steals = 9 unforced
They had 23 turnovers – 14 steals = 9 unforced

Points per Takeaway
(Points off turnovers divided by the number of turnovers the other team had)
We had 37 points from 23 takeaways = 1.609 points/takeaway
They had 16 points from 15 takeaways = 1.067 points/takeaway

Unsettled Situations
(Effective offensive rebounding + Points per Takeaway: [Second Chance Point + Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers)
We had 52 points in 35 unsettled situations = 1.486 points
They had 23 points in 28 unsettled situations = 0.821 points

Manufactured Possessions
(One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers)
We had 44 + 23= 67
They had 32 + 15 = 47

Hustle Stats
One of the radio sponsors gives an award to the team that had the most “hustle stats”, which they define as rebounds + steals + blocks. I decided to keep track of that, too:
We had 44 + 13 + 14 = 71
They had 32 + 2 + 6 = 40

Scoring

Shooting
(Shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws)
We were 23 for 37 on twos, (62.2%), 14 for 29 on threes (48.3%) and 9 for 11 on frees (81.8%)
They were 12 for 33 on twos, (36.3%), 3 for 24 on threes (12.5%) and 13 for 17 on frees (76.5%)
Combined percentages were: 1923 (622 + 483 + 818) vs. 1253 (363 + 125 + 765) = +670

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)
FBP = fast break points
POTO= points off turnovers

We had 40 PIP, 48 POP, 42 OL, 6 TZ, 37 POTO, 12 FBP
They had 20 PIP, 13 POP, 9 OL, 4 TZ, 16 POTO, 28 FBP

Fast Break Percentage
(FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals)
We scored 28 FBP in 59 opportunities (47.5%)
They scored 12 FBP in 27 opportunities (44.4%)

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 45 FCP and 15 SCP
They had 14 FCP and 7 SCP

Starters/Bench
(Total points – bench points = starters points)
Our starters scored 70 points and our bench scored 27 points
Their starters scored 34 points and their bench scored 12 points

Assists
(The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted)
We assisted 25 of our 37 field goals = 67.6%
They assisted 10 of their 15 field goals = 66.7%

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 97 points in 74 possessions = 1.311 points/ possession
They scored 46 points in 75 possessions = 0.613 points/possession
It was a 149 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 97 points in 71 possessions = 1.366 points/ possession
They scored 46 points in 65 possessions = 0.706 points/possession

Team Shooting Efficiency

(Points minus missed field goals and free throws)

We scored 97 points, missed 29 field goals and missed 2 free throws = net +66
They scored 46 points, missed 26 field goals and missed 4 free throws = net +16

(Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot)

We scored 97 on 37 two point attempts, 29 three point attempts and 11 free throw attempts = 97 of a possible 172 points = 56.4% of possible points scored.
They scored 46 on 33 two point attempts, 24 three point attempts and 17 free throw attempts = 46 of possible 155 points = 29.7% of possible points scored.

Breakdown by Quarters
(Points scored between the beginning of the game and the 10 minute mark of the first half, then halftime, then the 10 minute mark of the second half, the end of regulation and then overtime of there was one)

31-12, 20-14, 30-7, 16-13

Fouls

(Two point shots and free throws attempted per times fouled.)
We attempted 37 two point shots, attempted 11 free throws and were fouled 13 times = 2.85; 0.85
They attempted 33 two point shots, attempted 17 free throws and were fouled 12 times = 2.75; 1.42
They were more likely to get calls when attempting two point shots and got more shots per foul.

Comments

- Statistically, this game was the antidote to the Virginia game where everybody was in single digits or mins net points. In this one six players had 15 or NP. Even Quincy Guerrier with his “one foot whatever” shot had 10NP. Everybody got well vs. Bucknell.

- 37 points off 23 turnovers is a monstrous number. I wonder if we’ll see that in any other game this season. There might be two consecutive games in which we don’t reach that.

- We were +29 in unsettled situations: second chance points and points off turnovers. We were also +31 in “hustle stats”. We didn’t just play well: we played hard.

- When you hit 62% of your two point shots, 48% of your three point shots and 82% of you free throws, you aren’t going to lose.

- Our three point defense is now 34 for 142, (23.9%).

- We had 28 lovely fast break points.

- Only 25 fouls were called and only 28 free throws were attempted. The game had a great flow.
