Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2425626, member: 289"] I’ve added so many things to my post-game “Net Points” posts over the years that it’s become a very long post to read and a longer one to do. I’ve decided to have separate posts for the numbers for a particular game and for the cumulative season totals. It’s the later that takes most of the time and lengthens the post so much. There was too much verbiage and too many numbers. I’m still going to figure the season totals but I’ll post them at three different stages of the season: after the pre-conference schedule, after the conference schedule and after the post season. In the meantime, I’ll go with this stream-lined version of “Net Points, etc.” after each game, with numbers and commentary only for that game. That should make it both quicker to do and more digestible. [B]Net Points[/B] (points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks minus missed field goals and free throws, turnovers and personal fouls) Oshae Brissett 29NP in 36 minutes Matthew Moyer 13NP in 25 minutes Tyus Battle 13NP in 40 minutes Paschal Chukwu 12NP in 37 minutes Marek Dolezaj 8NP in 19 minutes Frank Howard 6NP in 35 minutes Howard Washington 4NP in 8 minutes DNP coach’s decision None Injured or suspended Bourama Sidibe Left team Geno Thorpe [B]Awards[/B] [I]Offensive Dude of the Game, (O-Dog)[/I] (Points plus assists) Oshea Brissett 28 + 3 = 31 [I]Scoring Efficiency[/I] (Points minus field goal and free throw attempts) Oshea Brissett 25 points – 7 mfg – 0 mft = 18 [I]Sat Us Down[/I] (Who scored the first SU basket of each half) 1st Half- Matthew Moyer lay-up 2:12 in 2nd Half- Frank Howard lay-up 1:01 in [I]TACO Bell MVP[/I] (Who scored the point that got us to 70, which gets you free tacos with your ticket stub) Frank Howard with a trey with 3:01 left My Man (Who played the most minutes?)

SCP is second chance points.) We had 41 FCP and [I]12 SCP[/I] They had [B]44 FCP[/B] and [I]12 SCP[/I] [I]Starters/Bench[/I] (Total points – bench points = starters points) Our [B]starters scored 73 points[/B] and our bench scored 8 points Their starters scored 45 points and their [B]bench scored 29 points[/B] [I]Assists[/I] (The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted) We assisted 13 of our 26 field goals = 50.0% [B]They assisted 19 of their 26 field goals = 73.1%[/B] [I]Team Offensive Efficiency[/I] (Possessions: Field goals attempted - offensive rebounds + turnovers + 47.5% of free throws attempted. Efficiency is total points divided by possessions) [B]We scored 81 points in 71 possessions = 1.141 points/possession[/B] They scored 74 points in 72 possessions = 1.028 points/ possession It was a 143 possession game. [I]Breakdown by Quarters[/I] (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) 17-10, 19-17, 16-22, 29-25 [B]Fouls[/B] (Two point shots, points in paint and free throws attempted per times fouled.)

[B]Comments:[/B] - This was the first time Oshae was the O-Dog and led in scoring efficiency. Tyus led in the first 7 times and the second 8 times, but never Oshae before tonight. - This was the first time we lost the rebound battle, (the way I figure it) and failed to win “manufactured possessions”. - We had 27 points in 23 unsettled situations = 1.174 points. They had 24 points in 31 unsettled situations = 0.774 points. In a close game a better response to unsettled situations can make a significant difference. - In the first 9 games the fact that we couldn’t make threes and couldn’t stop them was the team’s biggest problem. In the last two games we are 15 for 34 (44.1%) and the bad guys are 12 for 51 ((23.5%) - This team is not as good an offensive team as last year’s but we are scoring 74.3ppg and we can make it tough for the other teams to reach 75. We were averaging 77.9 at this point last year. We are just 4 points short of that. And we’d lost 4 games by this point last year. [/QUOTE]
