Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2014052, member: 289"] FOULS ([I]Two point shots, points in paint and free throws attempted per times fouled[/I].) TWO POINT SHOTS (attempted) TO TIMES FOULED Overall, we’ve attempted 1.91 two shots for every time the opposition has been called for a foul. The opposition has attempted 2.01 for every time we’ve been called for a foul. In the wins it’s been 1.92-2.30 and in the losses it’s been 1.90-1.71. We won this stat 8 times and won 7 of those games. We lost the stat 5 times and lost 4 of those games. There are many more fouls on two point attempts than three point attempts and these numbers suggest that we’ve been more likely to draw a foul than the opposition overall. Our rate is unchanged in wins or losses but the opposition is more likely to draw the foul on us in the losses than in the wins. POINTS in PAINT TO TIMES FOULED Overall we’ve averaged getting 1.475 points in the paint per times we’ve been fouled to 1.47 for the opposition. In wins, it’s been 1.64-1.64. In losses it’s been 1.19-1.29. We won this stat 6 times and won 4 of those games. We lost the stat 7 times and lost 3 of those games. Basically the number of times a team has gone to the basket to score has had nothing to do with the number of times they go to the line. It’s interesting that fewer fouls on these plays have been called in our losses than our wins. There have actually bene more fouls over all called in our losses, (38 total per game) than our wins (32). That means the refs are not calling fouls inside as often when we lose. FREE THROWS (attempted) TO FOULS DRAWN Overall, we’ve gotten to attempt 1.14 free throws per time fouled. Our opposition has attempted 1.02. In the wins, it’s been 1.09-0.98. In the losses it’s been 1.22-1.06. We won this stat 10 times and won 5 of those games. We lost the stat 3 times and lost none of those games. This is a stat that has little to with wins and losses. Like the above two stats is might show a bias by the officials. If we tended to draw foul called on two point shots and points in the paint more than the opposition and get to the line more on the fouls that were called, or if we faced a noticeable deficit in those stats, that might indicate the refs are for or against us but I don’t see it. I’ll take another look at these numbers when we finish the ACC season and have a breakdown base on those games alone. It will be interesting to see the differences. [/QUOTE]
