Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1731898, member: 289"] Here are the things I keep track of in my “Net Points, etc.” posts I do after every game with the season totals in each category broken out so we see the pre-conference season totals and averages, the same for the conference season and the post season as well as the combined total for the year, the number of games we led in that stat, our record in those games and whatever other commentary I can think of. First the “individual awards”, showing which individual players led in these stats in each game: NET POINTS (points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks minus missed field goals and free throws, turnovers and personal fouls) Michael Gbinije has led us in net points 16 times, Tyler Roberson 9 times, Tyler Lydon 8 times, Mal Richardson 3 times and DaJuan Coleman and Trevor Cooney 2 times. Gbinije had the most net points with 34 vs. NC State. Comment: It’s hard to lead in net points form the backcourt. Your shots are more difficult and you don’t get as many rebounds. Mike was clearly our best player, hands down, although he led in NP only once in the 6 post season games. I’ll have a breakdown individual numbers in this category in a separate post. O-DOG (Offensive Dude of the Game: Points plus assists) Michael Gbinije has been the O-Dog 27 times, Trevor Cooney 4 times, Mal Richardson 3 times and Tyler Lydon and Tyler Roberson once each. Gbinije had the biggest game: 40, (34 points + 6 assists) vs. NC State. Comment: Mike’s our O-Dog, that’s for sure. SCORING EFFICIENCY (Points minus field goal and free throw attempts) Michael Gbinije has led in this stat 13 times, Trevor Cooney and Tyler Lydon 7 times, Tyler Roberson 6 times, Mal Richardson and DaJuan Coleman 4 times, and Franklin Howard and Kaleb Joseph once. Gbinije had the best game, against Charlotte, an amazing 26 points on 13 shots (3 for 3 on two points shots, 6 for 8 on treys and 2 for 2 from the foul line). Comment: Again, Mike was the best, even though he faded toward the end when defenses were geared to stop him. He led in efficiency only once in the last 8 games. SAT US DOWN (Who scored the first SU basket of each half) Mal Richardson has sat us down 18 times, Michael Gbinije 16 times, Trevor Cooney 15 times, Tyler Roberson 14 times, DaJuan Coleman 9 times and Tyler Lydon 2 times, (he’s always coming off the bench). We’ve been sat down by 22 treys, 21 lay-ups, (including tip-ins), 12 two point jumpers and 5 dunks. The average time it’s taken has been 1 minute, 22 seconds. The longest was 5:39 in the first half against Florida State and the shortest 6 seconds in the second half vs. Georgia Tech. Comment: Interesting that Gbinije was not dominants here with Richardson and Cooney sitting us down as much or more than Mike did. It was also Coleman more times than you think, indicating that DaJuan was more of an option when he was in there than people realize. 16% of the shots that got us going were two point jumpers. TACO BELL MVP (Who scored the point that got us to 70, which gets you free tacos with your ticket stub) We’ve gotten tacos in 20 of 37 games, reaching 70 points with an average of 3:51 left in those games. Trevor Cooney has gotten us tacos 8 times, Michael Gbinije 4 times, Tyler Lydon and Mal Richardson Tyler Roberson twice, DaJuan Coleman and Franklin Howard once each. Comment: Actually, I haven’t eaten at Taco Bell in years. MY MAN (Who played the most minutes?) Michael Gbinije has been “the man” 20 times, Trevor Cooney 16 times, Mal Richardson 4 times and Tyler Roberson once (there have been three ties). Comment: Gbinije and Cooney, of course, are our two seniors. Cooney was “the man” the first 6 games of the year but only 10 of the last 27. [/QUOTE]
