Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1988820, 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.

When I did my Upside/Downside that wasn’t up yet and I used the ESPN box score which had some differences. For example Cuse.com has Lydon 1 for 7, ESPN had him 1/8. - Tyus Battle and Andrew White both hit treys to sit us down in the first minute of each half- encouraging starts. We then missed 11 treys in a row the rest of the first half and 14 of 18 the rest of the second half. - The two teams missed 75 of 105 shots, a scintillating 28.6% from the field. It wasn’t just missing threes: the two teams combined to miss 37 of 54 two point shots. Naismith or at least Wooden must have been spinning in his grave. - There were plenty of rebounds in this game but neither team did a good job of getting their own misses back. 23 of 84 misses were rebounded by the offensive team, 27%. - We scored 14 baskets in 40 minutes. That’s an average of one every three minutes. [/QUOTE]
