Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3196920, member: 289"] I will again be doing a report after each game this season and a summary report at the end of the non-conference season, the ACC season and the post season. Net Points (points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks minus missed field goals and free throws, turnovers and personal fouls) Elijah Hughes +20NP in 33 minutes = +106/213 = +19.9NP/40 for season Joe Girard +9NP in 35 minutes = +67/164 = +16.3NP/40 for season Bourama Sidibie +6NP in 21 minutes = +57/139 = +16.4NP/40 for season Robert Braswell +3NP in 7 minutes = +2/24 = +3.3NP/40 for season Quincy Guerrier +3NP in 19 minutes = +32/102 = +12.5NP/40 for season Brycen Goodine +1NP in 12 minutes = +6/49 = +3.3NP/40 for season Buddy Boeheim -1NP in 29 minutes = +61/188 = +13.0NP/40 for season Marek Dolezaj -1NP in 34 minutes = +60/193 = +12.4NP/40 for season Howard Washington 0NP in 4 minutes = +8/23 = +13.9NP/40 for season Jesse Edwards 0NP in 6 minutes = +22/45 = +19.6NP/40 for season DNP coach’s decision Injured Jalen Carey 0NP in 0 minutes = -3/23 = -5.2NP/40 for season Suspended None Redshirting John Bol Ajak Out for the year None Left Team None Awards Offensive Dude of the Game, (O-Dog) (Points plus assists) Elijah Hughes 28 points + 1 assist = 29 Shooting Efficiency (Points minus missed field goal and free throw attempts) Elijah Hughes 28 points – 7 mfg – 1 mft = +20 Scoring Efficiency (Percentage of points scored divided by points they would have scored if they made every shot- minimum 10 possible points) Elijah Hughes 28 points of 48 = 58.3% Sat Us Down (Who scored the first SU basket of each half?) 1st Half- Elijah Hughes lay-up at 13:30 2nd Half- Bourama Sidibie lay-up at 18.40 TACO Bell MVP (Who scored the point that got us to 70, which gets you free tacos with your ticket stub) Marek Dolezaj free throw at 2:14 My Man (Who played the most minutes?) Joe Girard 35 minutes TEAM STATS Possession Rebounding (Add each team’s offensive rebounds to their opponent’s defensive rebounds. Then figure the offensive rebounds as a percentage of that) We rebounded 12 of our 40 misses = 30.0% They rebounded 11 of their 30 misses = 36.7% Effective Offensive Rebounding (Divide second chance points by the offensive rebounds) We got 5 points on 12 O-Rebs = 0.417 points/O-reb They got 16 points on 11 O-Rebs = 1.455 points/O-reb Unforced Turnovers (Total turnovers – the other team’s steals = unforced turnovers) We had 17 turnovers – 12 steals = 5 unforced They had 20 turnovers – 9 steals = 11 unforced Points per Takeaway (Points off turnovers divided by the number of turnovers the other team had) We had 15 points from 20 takeaways = 0.750 points/takeaway They had 21 points from 17 takeaways = 1.235 points/takeaway Unsettled Situations (Effective offensive rebounding + Points per Takeaway: [Second Chance Point + Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers) We had 20 points in 32 unsettled situations = 0.625 points They had 37 points in 28 unsettled situations = 1.321 points Manufactured Possessions (One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers) We had 31 + 20= 51 They had 39 + 17 = 56 Hustle Stats One of the radio sponsors gives an award to the team that had the most “hustle stats”, which they define as rebounds + steals + blocks. I decided to keep track of that, too: We had 31 + 9 + 2 = 42 They had 39 + 12 + 2 = 53 Scoring Shooting (Shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws) We were 11 for 25 on twos, (44.0%), 8 for 31 on threes (25.8%) and 26 for 37 on frees (70.3%) They were 18 for 29 on twos, (62.1%), 9 for 26 on threes (34.6%) and 23 for 28 on frees (82.1%) Combined percentages were: 1399 (440 + 258 + 703) vs. 1788 (621 + 346 + 821) = +389 Points (PIP= points in the paint, “The Inner Sanctum” POP = points outside the paint, which is total points – PIP -free throws made OL= points from “The Outer Limits” (three point shots) TZ= “Twilight Zone”, which is POP – TREY, (two point jumpers from outside the paint) FBP = fast break points POTO= points off turnovers We had 16 PIP, 30 POP, 24 OL, 6 TZ, 15 POTO, 16 FBP They had 34 PIP, 29 POP, 27 OL, 2 TZ, 21 POTO, 35 FBP Fast Break Percentage (FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals) We scored 16 FBP in 23 opportunities (69.6%) They scored 35 FBP in 25 opportunities (140.0%) First Chance/Second Chance (FCP is First Chance Points, which is total points - second chance points – fast break points – free throws made. SCP is second chance points.) We had 25 FCP and 5 SCP They had 12 FCP and 16 SCP Starters/Bench (Total points – bench points = starters points) Our starters scored 61 points and our bench scored 11 points Their starters scored 72 points and their bench scored 14 points Assists (The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted) We assisted 14 of our 19 field goals = 73.7% They assisted 17 of their 27 field goals = 63.0% Team Offensive Possession Efficiency (Possessions: Field goals attempted - offensive rebounds + turnovers + 47.5% of free throws attempted. Efficiency is total points divided by possessions) We scored 72 points in 77 possessions = 0.935 points/ possession They scored 86 points in 79 possessions = 1.089 points/possession It was a 156 possession game. If we just use FGA + (47.5% FTA) and thus count an offensive rebound as an additional possession and a turnover as a lost possession: We scored 72 points in 74 possessions = 0.973 points/ possession They scored 86 points in 68 possessions = 1.265points/possession Team Shooting Efficiency (Points minus missed field goals and free throws) We scored 72 points, missed 37 field goals and missed 11 free throws = net +24 They scored 86 points, missed 28 field goals and missed 5 free throws = net +53 (Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot) We scored 72 on 25 two point attempts, 31 three point attempts and 37 free throw attempts = 72 of a possible 180 points = 38.9% of possible points scored. They scored 86 on 29 two point attempts, 26 three point attempts and 28 free throw attempts = 86 of possible 164 points = 52.4% of possible points scored. Breakdown by Quarters (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) 19-14, 12-29, 20-17, 21-26 Fouls (Two point shots and free throws attempted per times fouled.) We attempted 25 two point shots, attempted 37 free throws and were fouled 24 times = 1.04; 1.54 They attempted 29 two point shots, attempted 28 free throws and were fouled 20 times = 1.45; 1.40 They were more likely to get calls when attempting two point shots and got more shots per foul. Comments - I’ve discovered in doing these stats that “Unsettled Situations” is a big deal. It combined points off offensive rebounds and turnovers when you aren’t facing a set defense. If one team does significantly better at taking advantage of those situations, they are very likely to be the winner of the game. In this case we had 20 points off 31 offensive rebounds and turnovers while the Cowboys had 37 points off 28. That’s +17 in fewer opportunities and they won by 14 points. - Chris Harris Jr. came in averaging 12.5% from three point range. Yet he hit three long treys in the last 2:28 of the first half, moving the score from 27-32 to 31-43. That made all the difference as it’s a completely different strategical situation to be done 12 at halftime instead of 5. It puts you into the situation going on over-drive to try to catch up, in which case players can run out of energy, fall back and face an even greater deficit. You get out of your normal game and take chances and the other team can take advantage of that. Those three treys were the only points Harris scored. He was 0 for 4 the rest of the game. - But the game was won and lost in the paint, where OSU scored 34 points to our 16. They were 18 for 29 on two point shots while we were 11 for 25. - They also beat us down court, (which leads to points in the paint) with 35 fast beak points to 16. 16 isn’t actually that bad. It’s tied for the second most we’ve had this year. Only against Bucknell, (28) did we have more. I’ve got stats on this back to the 2016 season. In that year 16 was our season high and we averaged 6.4. The opposition averaged 6.1, with Miami getting 20. In 2017 we averaged 7.3 with a high of 18. The opposition averaged 7.6 with a high of 23 vs. NC State. I was thinking the St. John’s game in the Dome that year might have been the last time somebody has as many FBP against us as the Cowboys did last night. Not even close. The Johnnies got only 18 FBP that night. In 2018 we had 10FBP in the opener against Cornell and never hit double figures again, averaging just 4.4. The opposition had 6.4 with Georgetown high with 20. In 2019 we actually did much better, averaging 8.4 with 20 against Wake Forest being the high. The other guys averaged 8.0 with Florida State topping the list with a robust 29. Still, we haven’t had 35 FBP against us since at least before 2016 and maybe a long time before. - In fact, our fast break percentage, (FBP divided by D-rebs+steals+blocks) was our highest of the season. It just wasn’t equal to Okie States, which broke the machine: Virginia I 5/16 = 31.25% vs. 2/18 = 11.1% Colgate 16/45 = 35.6% vs. 0/27 = 0.00% Seattle 14/43 = 35.6% vs. 6/29 = 20.7% Cornell 12/25 = 48.0% vs. 6/23 = 26.1% Bucknell 28/59 = 47.5% vs. 12/27 = 44.4% Oklahoma St. 16/23 = 69.6% vs. 35/25 = 140.0% - First chance points were 25-12 in our favor. So we actually did better against a set defense than they did. Unfortunately, just 37 of the game’s 158 points were scored that way. The rest were scored in unsettled situations, fast breaks or at the line. - Both teams had strong assist ratios but ours was better, (74%-63%). We are a jump shooting teams and we will score when we pass the ball for open shots. - It’s a strange thing to get off to an 0-11 start and win the first quarter of the game – and have that be your best quarter of the game.
