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.)
Net Points
(points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks minus missed field goals and free throws, turnovers and personal fouls)
(season totals double-checked from Cuse.com stats on 3/1)
Alan Griffin +31NP in 39 minutes = +113NP in 227 minutes = +19.9NP/40 for season
Marek Dolezaj +27NP in 42 minutes = +113NP in 239 minutes = +18.9NP/40 for season
Quincy Guerrier +25NP in 45 minutes = +153NP in 239 minutes = +25.6NP/40 for season
Kadary Richmond +19NP in 32 minutes = +94NP in 182 minutes = +20.7NP/40 for season
Buddy Boeheim +11NP in 42 minutes = +33NP in 137 minutes = +9.6NP/40 for season
John Bol Ajak 0NP in 3 minutes = -1NP in 29 minutes = -1.4NP/40 for season
Joe Girard +0NP in 16 minutes = +59NP in 210 minutes = +11.2NP/40 for season
Woody Newton -1NP in 6 minutes = +38NP in 73 minutes = +20.8NP/40 for season
DNP coach’s decision
Chaz Owens
Jesse Edwards 0NP in 0 minutes = +1NP in 12 minutes = +3.3NP/40 for season
Frank Anselem 0NP in 0 minutes = +5NP in 26 minutes = +7.7NP/40 for season
Robert Braswell 0NP in 0 minutes = -8NP in 41 minutes = -7.8NP/40 for season
Injured and couldn’t play
Bourama Sidibie 0NP in 0 minutes = +1NP in 4 minutes = +10.0NP/40 for season

Offensive Dude of the Game, (O-Dog)
(Points plus assists)
Alan Griffin and Quincy Guerrier 27 points and 3 assists/ 24 points and 3 assists = 27
Shooting Efficiency
(Points minus missed field goal and free throw attempts)
Quincy Guerrier 27 points – 5mfg – 3mft = +19
Scoring Efficiency
(Percentage of points scored divided by points they would have scored if they made every shot- minimum 10 possible points)
Marek Dolezaj 19 points of 25 = 76.0%

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 17 of our 45 misses = 37.8%
They rebounded 15 of their 44 misses = 34.1%
Effective Offensive Rebounding
(Divide second chance points by the offensive rebounds)
We got 16 points on 17 O-Rebs = 0.941 points/O-Reb
They got 11 points on 15 O-Rebs = 0.733 points/O-Reb
Unforced Turnovers
(Total turnovers – the other team’s steals = unforced turnovers)
We had 9 turnovers – 5 steals = 4 unforced
They had 17 turnovers – 8 steals = 9 unforced
Points per Takeover
(Points off turnovers divided by the number of turnovers the other team had)
We had 15 points from 17 takeovers = 0.882 points/takeaway
They had 11 points from 9 takeovers = 1.222 points/takeaway
Unsettled Situations
(Effective offensive rebounding + Points per Takeover: [Second Chance Points+ Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers)
We had 31 points in 34 unsettled situations = 0.912 points
They had 22 points in 24 unsettled situations = 0.917 points
Manufactured Possessions
(One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers)
We had 46 + 17 = 63
They had 43 + 9 = 52
Hustle Stats
One of the radio sponsors gives an award to the team that had the most “hustle stats”, which they define as rebounds + blocks + steals. I decided to keep track of that, too:
We had 46 + 8 + 10 = 64
They had 43 + 1 + 5 = 48
Scoring
Shooting
(Shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws)
We were 33 for 56 on twos, (58.9%), 3 for 19 on threes (15.8%) and 32 for 42 on frees (76.2%)
They were 30 for 57 on twos, (52.6%), 9 for 22 on threes (40.9%) and 9 for 13 on frees (69.2%)
Combined percentages were: 589 + 158 + 762 = 1,509 vs. 526 + 409 + 692 = 1,627 = -118
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 58 PIP, 17 POP, 9 OL, 8 TZ, 15 POTO, 25 FBP
They had 58 PIP, 29 POP, 27 OL, 2 TZ, 11 POTO, 21 FBP
Fast Break Percentage
(FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals)
We scored 25 FBP in 47 opportunities (53.2%)
They scored 21 FBP in 34 opportunities (61.8%)
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 34 FCP and 16 SCP
They had 55 FCP and 11 SCP
Starters/Bench
(Total points – bench points = starters points)
Our starters scored 94 points and our bench scored 13 points
Their starters scored 54 points and their bench scored 42 points
Assists
(The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted)
We assisted 19 of our 36 field goals = 52.8%
They assisted 22 of their 39 field goals = 56.4%
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 107 points in 87 possessions = 1.230 points/ possession
They scored 96 points in 87 possessions = 1.103 points/possession
It was a 174 possession game, (in 45 minutes: 40/45 X 174 = 155).
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 107 points in 95 possessions = 1.126 points/ possession
They scored 96 points in 85 possessions = 1.129 points/possession
Team Shooting Efficiency
(Points minus missed field goals and free throws)
We scored 107 points, missed 39 field goals and missed 10 free throws = net +58
They scored 96 points, missed 40 field goals and missed 4 free throws = net +52
(Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot)
We scored 107 on 56 two point attempts, 19 three point attempts and 42 free throw attempts = 107 of a possible 211 points = 50.7% of possible points scored.
They scored 96 on 57 two point attempts, 22 three point attempts and 13 free throw attempts = 96 of a possible 193 points = 49.7% of possible points scored.
Fouls
(Most fouls are called on two point shot attempts.)
We attempted 56 two point shots and were fouled 27 times = 2.07
They attempted 57 two point shots and were fouled 15 times = 3.80
(If we got the calls at the same rate we’d have been fouled 15 times. But, of course, they fouled us on purpose a number of times in the overtime period. Also, when we are in our drive to the basket mode, we draw a lot of fouls.)
Comments
- A measure of the effort both teams put into the game: there were 32 offensive rebounds in this game. The next most this year was 25 in the Bryant game. The average has been 20.
- We had 3 blocked shots in our previous three games, (Rutgers, Boston College and Northeastern). We had 10 in this game.
- We came into the Northeastern game shooting 53 for 145, (36.6%) from three. In these past two games, we’ve shot 5 for 37, (13.5%) with an absurd 23 misses in a row. If we’d shot 36.6% in these last two games, we’d have 5 and then 4 more three pointers and have had a relaxing afternoon and evening.
- There were 116 points in the paint in this game, 58 for either team. The highest combined total in any of our previous six games? 62.
- There were 113 two point field goals attempted in this game vs. 41 treys. That’s 73% two point attempts. In the first six games, the average was 53% with the range being 48-57%
- On our initial sets, (first chance points) we were 189-169 in the first five game. We were 36-87 in these last two.
- Our starters scored 94 points in this game. And that’s with Joe Girard getting just 2 of them.
- If you count an offensive rebound as an additional possession and a turnover as a lost possession. Buffalo was slightly more efficient at scoring than we were (1.126 per possession vs. 1.129). the game was thus won by our catching up to them on the boards and being +8 on turnovers, which was primarily the product of having only 9 turnovers in 45 minutes of race-horse basketball.
- We made up for the long-range bricks by getting to the line 68 times in these last two game and scoring 54 points there. We are shooting 77.6% from the line this year and have had no games below 70%. I wondered if that might be leading the country. Not even close:

The NCAA record for the highest team free throw percent age is 82.2 by Harvard in 1984. 77.6% would have won the seasonal championship 23 times, (see page 67):
Why are free throw percent ages so high this year? Hmmm….
