(We are averaging 132 a game in regulation.) [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) 20-17, 12-18, 20-13, 20-26 [B]Fouls[/B] (Two point shots, points in paint and free throws attempted per times fouled.)

[B]Comments:[/B] - Teams rediscovered the offensive rebound, getting 28 of 48 of their misses (37.5%), the highest combined figure since the Florida State game. But they didn’t take a lot of advantage of it with 16 second chance points. - We got 32 points off 19 NC State turnovers while they got 14 points off our 15 turnovers, a huge advantage for us that wasn’t quite enough to win us the game. The second most points off turnovers by [I]either team [/I]in any SU game this year was 23 by us vs. Oakland. - Our points per turnover was 1,684. We’ve actually topped that twice with 13/7 vs. Virginia and 20/11 vs. Louisville, high ratios for a team that doesn’t fast break much. It can be an important stat. Brent Axe seems to know this, judging by what he says at 9:30 of this summary of the Wake Forest game on Sunday: [MEDIA=youtube]dQLQjNnexFw[/MEDIA] and the :6:05 mark of his description of last night’s game: [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJUcRRjkkbQ"]Syracuse basketball loses to NC State 74-70: Brent Axe recap[/URL] Hmmm… you aren’t reading my posts are you, Brent? (I love his line aobut the refs getting new whistles for Valentine’s day!) - We won the first ten minutes of each half 40-30. We lost the last ten minutes 30-44. Did the pressure defense wear us down? - I you average our foul percentages on two point shots and those of NC State you get 1.39. That is the lowest of the season, (vs. Kansas it was 1.44). - Strangely, that does not apply to three point shots, where the combined percentage was 1.515. . The games against Toledo (0.995), Kansas (1.445), Connecticut (1.265), St. Bonaventure (1.02), Virginia Tech (1.215), Wake Forest (1.29), Florida State (1.185), Pittsburgh (1.335), Boston College (1.44), Pittsburgh (1.27), Georgia Tech (1.335) and Wake forest (1.325) all had lower averages, (and thus more fouls called). I think the problem here is that it’s a bad metric: It’s made shots per foul whereas fouls usually result in missed shots. The two point shot comparison is about attempts, not points scored. For that reason I’m going to drop this stat in future summaries. [/QUOTE]
