Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2389178, 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) 20-14. 19-11, 12-13, 23-12 [B]Fouls[/B] (Two point shots, points in paint and free throws attempted per times fouled.) We attempted 56 two point shots, scored 40 points in the paint, attempted 18 free throws and were fouled 18 times = 3.11; 2.22; 1.00 They attempted 37 two point shots, scored 20 points in the paint, attempted 11 free throws and were fouled 17 times = 2.18; 1.18; 0.65 Oakland was more likely to draw a foul and to get to the line but Syracuse got more free throws per foul. [B]Comments: [/B] - Who would ever have expected Paschal Chukwu to lead this team in net points 26, 12 more than anyone else? It was also important that he had the stamina to play 31 minutes and that he committed only two fouls. The latter is an indication that he understands his role and how to do things out there. Knowledge is power. - We are now 38-6 in Twilight Zone points this year. We are 72-39 in points off turnovers and 140-88 in points in the paint. Those are tremendous differences. - We also had 39 points in unsettled situations to 21, another big difference. I think Dolezaj is a big part of that. - A 67 to 48 edge in manufactured possessions is huge. - JB really wants this team to go inside. 56 of our 64 field goal attempts were two pointers (87.5%). - We won big but only scored a point per possession. We won this game on defense. [/QUOTE]
