The team’s stats on the season: Paschal Chukwu scored 199 of a possible 307 points = 64.8% Marek Dolezaj scored 214 of a possible 379 points = 56.5% Bourama Sidibie scored 81 of a possible 144 points = 56.3% Matthew Moyer scored 113 of a possible 220 points = 51.4% Tyus Battle scored 712 of a possible 1610 points = 44.2% Oshae Brissett scored 553 of a possible 1303 points = 42.4% Frank Howard scored 533 of a possible 1327 points = 40.2% Geno Thorpe scored 38 of a possible 95 points = 40.0% Howard Washington scored 19 of a possible 56 points = 33.9% [I]Sat Us Down[/I] (Who scored the first SU basket of each half) 1st Half- Paschal Chukwu dunk 1:03 in 2nd Half- Frank Howard jumper 15 seconds in [I]TACO Bell MVP[/I] (Who scored the point that got us to 70, which gets you free tacos with your ticket stub) A midnight taco would have been delicious. :rolleyes: [I]My Man[/I] (Who played the most minutes?) Tyus Battle, Oshae Brissett and Frank Howard 40 minutes [B]Team Stats:[/B] [I](I’ve decided to put the team that won the stat in bold and ties in italics.)[/I] POSSESSION [I]Rebounding[/I] (Add each team’s offensive rebounds to their opponent’s defensive rebounds. Then figure the offensive rebounds as a percentage of that) [B]We rebounded 14 of our 31 misses = 45.2%[/B] They rebounded 16 of their 39 misses = 41.0% [I]Effective Offensive Rebounding[/I] (Divide second chance points by the offensive rebounds) We got 13 points on 14 O-Rebs = 0.929 points/O-reb [B]They got 17 points on 16 O-Rebs = 1.0625 points/O-reb[/B] [I]Unforced Turnovers[/I] (Total turnovers – the other team’s steals = unforced turnovers) [B]We had 16 turnovers – 8 steals = 8 unforced[/B] They had 7 turnovers – 3 steals = 4 unforced [I]Points per Takeaway[/I] (Points off turnovers divided by the number of turnovers the other team had) [B]We had 8 points from 7 takeaways = 1.143 points/takeaway[/B] They had 18 points from 16 takeaways = 1.125 points/takeaway [I]Unsettled Situations[/I] (Effective offensive rebounding + Points per Takeaway: [Second Chance Point + Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers) We had 21 points in 21 unsettled situations = 0.810 points [B]They had 35 points in 32 unsettled situations = 1.094 points[/B] [I]Manufactured Possessions[/I] (One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers) [B]We had 37 + 7 = 44 [/B] They had 33 + 16 = 49 [B]Scoring[/B] [I]Shooting[/I] (shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws) We were [B]21 [/B]for 38 on twos, (55.3%), 4 for 13 on threes [B](30.8%) [/B]and 11 for 17 on frees (64.7%) They were 17 for 30 on twos, [B](56.7%),[/B] [B]5 [/B]for 26 on threes (19.2[I]%[/I]) and [B]20[/B] for 28 on frees [B](71.4%)[/B] [I]Points[/I] (PIP= points in the paint, POP = points outside the paint, which is total points – PIP –free throws made, TREY: points from 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 30 PIP[I],[/I] [B]24 POP[/B], 12 TREY, [B]12 TZ[/B][I],[/I] 8 POTO[B],[/B] [I]2 FBP[/I] They had [B]32 PIP,[/B] 19 POP, [B]15 TREY[/B], 2 TZ, [B]18 POTO[/B], [I]2 FBP[/I] [I]Fast Break Percentage[/I] (FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals) [I]We scored 2 FBP in 27 opportunities (7.4%) They scored 2 FBP in 27 opportunities (7.4%)[/I] [I]First Chance/Second Chance[/I] (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 [B]39 FCP [/B]and 13 SCP They had 30 FCP and [B]17 SCP[/B] [I]Last Possessions[/I] (Points scored on the last full possession of a half, a game or an overtime period.) We scored 1 points [B]They scored 2 points[/B] [I]Starters/Bench[/I] (Total points – bench points = starters points) Our starters scored 61 points and our [B]bench scored 4 points[/B] Their [B]starters scored 67 points[/B] and their bench scored 2 points [I]Assists[/I] (The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted) We assisted 12 of our 25 field goals = 48.0% [B]They assisted 13 of their 22 field goals = 59.1%[/B] [I]Team Offensive Possession Efficiency[/I] (Possessions: Field goals attempted - offensive rebounds + turnovers + 47.5% of free throws attempted. Efficiency is total points divided by possessions) We scored 65 points in 61 possessions = 1.066 points/ possession [B]They scored 69 points in 60 possessions = 1.115 points/possession[/B] It was a 121 possession game. (We are averaging 130 a game in regulation.) If you added, rather than subtracted the offensive rebounds, the ratings would be [B]0.730 for Syracuse[/B] and 0.756 for Duke. If you average ratings, (assuming that half the offensive rebounds result in tip in attempts and half are taken back out to rest the offense), it’s Syracuse 0.898 and Duke [B]0.936[/B]. [I]Team Shooting Efficiency[/I] (points minus missed field goals and free throws) [B]We scored 65 points, missed 26 field goals and 6 free throws = net 33[/B] They scored 69 points, missed 34 field goals and 8 free throws = net 27 (Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot) We scored 65 on 38 two point attempts, 13 three point attempts and 17 free throw attempts = 65 of a possible 106 points = [B]61.3%[/B] of possible points scored. They scored 69 on 30 two point attempts, 26 three point attempts and 28 free throw attempts = 69 of a possible 114 points = 60.5% of possible points scored. (see below for explanation) [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) 17-16, 10-18, 18-16, 20-19 [B]Fouls[/B] (Two point shots and free throws attempted per times fouled.) We attempted 38 two point shots, attempted 17 free throws and were fouled 16 times = 2.375; 1.06 They attempted 30 two point shots, attempted 28 free throws and were fouled 19 times = [B]1.58; 1.47[/B] They were more likely to get calls when attempting two point shots and got more free throws out of it when they were fouled. [B]Comments:[/B] - In an appropriate ending for this team that hung together through all the adversity, there was a four way tie for the Net Points title in the team’s final game with Tyus Battle, Oshae Brissett, Marek Dolezaj and paschal Chukwu all had exactly 10NP. - 18 points off turnovers beat 8 points on turnovers. That’s likely to be the case in any close game. - In the four NCAA games, we were outscored in the paint 82-92 and outside the arc 45-81. But we out-scored the opposition 50-12 from the Twilight Zone, (between the paint and the arc) and 60-45 from the line. Here’s to the 2 point jump shot! - We led in bench points for the first time in 16 games- since the game at Pittsburgh. Duke only two points form their bench. Maybe Jordan Tucker should have stayed. Coach K had two guys play 40 minutes and another play 39. Remind you of anyone? - We led in assist percentage three times this season- Texas Southern, Eastern Michigan and NC State. Assists are not our thing. - We are averaging 130 possession games but the Arizona State game had 120 possessions and the subsequent 3 games all had 121 possessions. Pace is part of defense.
