Net Points, etc. - Georgia Tech II

[SWC75]

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.) This is limited to recruited scholarship players only.

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 5 of our 29 misses = 17.2%
They rebounded 10 of their 33 misses = 30.3%

Unsettled Situations
[Second Chance Points+ Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers)
We had 19 points in 14 unsettled situations = 1.357 points/situation
They had 27 points in 20 unsettled situations = 1.350 points/situation

Manufactured Possessions
(One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers)
We had 28 + 9 = 37
They had 34 + 10 = 44


Scoring

Shooting
(Shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws)
We were 23 for 39 on twos, (59.0%), 4 for 17 on threes (23.5%) and 18 for 20 on frees (90.0%)
They were 17 for 27 on twos, (63.0%), 18 for 40 on threes (45.0%) and 8 for 10 on frees (80.0%)

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)
FT = Free Throws

We had 42 PIP, 16 POP, 12 OL, 4 TZ, 18 FT
They had 28 PIP, 60 POP, 54 OL, 6 TZ, 8 FT

Fast Break Percentage
(FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals)
We scored 17 FBP in 31 opportunities (54.8%)
They scored 17 FBP in 33 opportunities (57.5%)

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 37 FCP and 4 SCP
They had 56 FCP and 15 SCP

Starters/Bench
(Total points – bench points = starters points)
Our starters scored 65 points and our bench scored 11 points.
Their starters scored 96 points and their bench scored 0 points.

Efficiency

Assists
(The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted)
We assisted 17 of our 27 field goals = 63.0%
They assisted 27 of their 35 field goals = 77.1%

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 76 points in 71 possessions = 1.070 points/ possession
They scored 96 points in 71 possessions = 1.352 points/possession
It was a 142-possession game.

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 76 points in 66 possessions = 1.152 points/ possession
They scored 96 points in 72 possessions = 1.333 points/possession

Team Shooting Efficiency

(Points minus missed field goals and free throws)

We scored 76 points, missed 29 field goals and missed 2 free throws = net +45
They scored 96 points, missed 22 field goals and missed 2 free throws = net +62

(Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot)

We scored 76 on 39 two-point attempts, 40 three-point attempts and 10 free throw attempts = 76 of a possible 149 points = 51.1% of possible points scored.
They scored 96 on 27 two-point attempts, 17 three-point attempts and 20 free throw attempts = 96 of a possible 184 points = 52.2% of possible points scored.


Fouls

(Most fouls are called on two point shot attempts.)
We attempted 39 two-point shots and were fouled 14 times = 2.79
They attempted 27 two-point shots and were fouled 11 times = 2.45


Comments:

- Every point for Tech was scored by their starters, who played 37-39 minutes each. JB must have envied Josh Pastner to have five guys he trusts to win the game for him.

- Benny Williams has had consecutive 20 and 19NP games. Will he be the star of next eyar’s team?

- Quadir Copeland is very athletic and has some skills but statistically he’s having a terrible, mostly because he can’t shoot.

- Judah Mintz had a great game with 30NP, (most since Joe Girard had 35 in the first Georgia Tech game). Imagine how well he would have done if his jump shot (1 for 6 from three) hadn’t turned into a pumpkin.

- Basically, they couldn’t stop our top 3 guys but we couldn’t stop their top 4 guys.

- We out-shot Duke, Clemson and Pittsburgh from three 44%-43% but they got off 143 attempts to our 67. Tech, which came in shooting 33%, shot 45% while we shot 23.5%. If we’d shot 44%, we would have had 7-8 three instead of 4.That would at least have made the final margin a little easier to swallow, even if the result wasn’t.

- The volume of three pointers we have to defend pulls apart our defense inside the arc. Duke shot 59% on two pointers, 69%, 59% and 62%. Bill Russell couldn’t cover both posts and both corners unless there was two of him.

- JB pointed out that a lot of those threes produce rebounds that go to the high post. Our failure to keep them out of the high post thus produces a lot of offensive rebounds for the other teams. The four teams we’ve lost to in this streak. That’s why the offensive rebounds have been 33-50.

- Tech had 60 ‘POP’, (points outside the paint), the second most of the season: #1 was Colgate 61.

- Both teams had 17 fast break points, a high total these days. The fact that we pressed for much of the game was factor in this. It speeds up the game, for better or worse.

- At least we were more competitive in the assists battle:
Duke 7/19 = 36.8% vs. 22/30 = 73.3%
Clemson 9/27 = 33.3% vs. 28/34 = 82.4%
Pittsburgh 13/28 = 46.4% vs. 27/32 = 84.4%
Georgia Tech 17/27 = 63.0% vs. 27/35 = 77.1%
The season averages have been 52.6 – 72.6%
