Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2406365, 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. [B]Net Points[/B] (points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks minus missed field goals and free throws, turnovers and personal fouls) Frank Howard 10NP in 32 minutes Tyus Battle 9NP in 40 minutes Oshae Brissett 9NP in 40 minutes Paschal Chukwu 4NP in 23 minutes Bourama Sidibe 2NP in 17 minutes Marek Dolezaj 0NP in 23 minutes Matthew Moyer 0NP in 17 minutes Howard Washington -1NP in 8 minutes DNP coach’s decision Injured or suspended None Left team Geno Thorpe [B]Awards[/B] [I]Offensive Dude of the Game, (O-Dog)[/I] (Points plus assists) Frank Howard 22 + 1 = 23 [I]Scoring Efficiency[/I] (Points minus field goal and free throw attempts) Tyus Battle 22 points – 13 mfg – 1 mft = 8 [I]Sat Us Down[/I] (Who scored the first SU basket of each half) 1st Half- Frank Howard trey 34 seconds in 2nd Half- Tyus Battle trey 1:45 in [I]TACO Bell MVP[/I] (Who scored the point that got us to 70, which gets you free tacos with your ticket stub) No tacos for us My Man (Who played the most minutes?)

[B]Comments: [/B] - The entire SU line-up had 33NP and so did Devonte’ Graham. The rest of Kansas’ team had 36NP. - We’ve rebounded 43% of our misses this year while our option has rebounded only 25% of theirs. - Kansas had a decided edge in taking advantage of offensive rebounds: 9/15 = 0.600 vs. 10/7 = 1.429. - We had 13 unforced turnovers, (non-steals) to only 7 for Kansas. We have 53 on the eyar to 33 for the opposition. - We’ve lost the last three games in First Chance Points by a combined 94-126. You make up for that with second chance points, fast breaks and getting to the line. - The importance of depth: We won in bench points 3-2. - The game was no called in a biased fashion but it was called a little tighter than we are used to. In the first six games, there were 2.42 two point field goal attempts to per foul called and 1.50 points in the paint per foul called. In this game it was 1.43 and 1.41. I guess they were trying to impress Jim Burr. [/QUOTE]
