Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2398928, 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.

[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) 24-21, 12-14, 17-17, 19-18 [B] Fouls[/B] (Two point shots, points in paint and free throws attempted per times fouled.) We attempted 63 two point shots, scored 42 points in the paint, attempted 20 free throws and were fouled 21 times = 3.00; 2.00; 0.95 They attempted 51 two point shots, scored 20 points in the paint, attempted 20 free throws and were fouled 18 times = 2.83; 1.11; 1.11 They were more likely to draw fouls, (even though we were the team driving to the basket and got more foul shots out of each foul. [B]Comments: [/B] - Frank Howard has been JB’s “man” 3 times, Tyus Battle, Oshae Brissett, Marek Dolezaj, and Matthew Moyer 1 time each. That’s a lot of “men”. - We are shooting 51% inside the arc and holding the other team to 37% outside of it. We are shooting 29% outside of it with the opposition shooting 34%. Last year we shot 52% inside the arc and 38% outside of it. The opposition shot 50% inside the arc and 34% outside of it. - We have been outscored by 63 points outside the arc, (90-153) but +52 from the Twilight Zone, (66-14). - Is it true that jump shots produce more assists than lay-ups and dunks? Well, Maryland got 22 assists on their 23 baskets (96%), while we got 12 assists on 25 baskets (43%). Frank Howard still had twice as many assists as any other player in the game, (10 of our 12, 83%) - A line from Matt Park’s radio show: Syracuse had outrebounded every team they played this year and just out-rebounded a Maryland team that had out-rebounded every team [I]they [/I]had played this year. - This is our cumulative quarterly breakdown, (the points scored in every ten minute segment): 108-84, 103-88, 111-75, 124-111. Jim must be giving a heck of a halftime speech. - On the year our foul ratios are: 2 point FGA - 2.71 vs. 2.10 (we've had the lower number once), PIP - 1.86 vs. 1.11 (we've had the lower number once) and FTA - 1.14 - 1.05 (we've had the higher number 4 times). So we've fairly consistently been more likely to be called for fouls than the other team. [/QUOTE]
