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)
Marek Dolezaj 14NP in 21 minutes
Buddy Boeheim 11NP in 19 minutes

Oshae Brissett 11NP in 28 minutes
Tyus Battle 10NP in 40 minutes
Elijah Hughes 8NP in 25 minutes
Frank Howard 8NP in 34 minutes

Robert Braswell
Jalen Carey
Injured
Out for the year
Howard Washington
Awards
Offensive Dude of the Game, (O-Dog)
(Points plus assists)
Tyus Battle 22 points + 2 assists = 24
Shooting Efficiency
(Points minus field goal and free throw attempts)
Tyus Battle 22 points - 8mfg – 3mft = +11 and
Buddy Boeheim 13 points - 1mfg – 1mft = +11
Scoring Efficiency
(Percentage of points scored divided by points they would have scored if they made every shot- minimum 10 possible points)
Buddy Boeheim 13 of 17 possible points = 76.5%
Sat Us Down
(Who scored the first SU basket of each half?)
1st Half- Elijah Hughes trey 52 seconds in
2nd Half- Elijah Hughes trey 3:55 in
TACO Bell MVP
(Who scored the point that got us to 70, which gets you free tacos with your ticket stub)
Frank Howard free throw with 58 seconds left
My Man
(Who played the most minutes?)
Tyus Battle 40 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 9 of our 35 misses = 25.7%
They rebounded 18 of their 46 misses = 39.1%
Effective Offensive Rebounding
(Divide second chance points by the offensive rebounds)
We got 2 points on 9 O-Rebs = 0.222 points/O-reb
They got 17 points on 18 O-Rebs = 0.944 points/O-reb
Unforced Turnovers
(Total turnovers – the other team’s steals = unforced turnovers)
We had 14 turnovers – 4 steals = 10 unforced
They had 17 turnovers – 8 steals = 9 unforced
Points per Takeaway
(Points off turnovers divided by the number of turnovers the other team had)
We had 26 points from 17 takeaways = 1.529 points/takeaway
They had 19 points from 14 takeaways = 1.357 points/takeaway
Unsettled Situations
(Effective offensive rebounding + Points per Takeaway: [Second Chance Point + Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers)
We had 28 points in 26 unsettled situations = 1.077 points
They had 36 points in 32 unsettled situations = 1.125 points
Manufactured Possessions
(One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers)
We had 37 + 17 = 54
They had 44 + 14 = 58
Scoring
Shooting
(Shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws)
We were 13 for 28 on twos, (46.3%), 12 for 26 on threes (46.2%) and 12 for 23 on frees (52.2%)
They were 11 for 30 on twos, (36.7%), 11 for 35 on threes (31.4%) and 8 for 14 on frees (57.1%)
Points
(PIP= points in the paint, POP = points outside the paint, which is total points – PIP –free throws made, TREY: points from 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 23* PIP, 39 POP, 36 TREY, 3* TZ, 26 POTO, 13 FBP
They had 23* PIP, 32 POP, 33 TREY, -1* TZ, 19 POTO, 16 FBP
(* see the fifth bullet point below)
Fast Break Percentage
(FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals)
We scored 13 FBP in 46 opportunities (28.3%)
They scored 16 FBP in 32 opportunities (50.0%)
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 47 FCP and 2 SCP
They had 22 FCP and 22 SCP
Last Possessions
(Points scored on the last full possession of a half, a game or an overtime period.)
We scored 2 points
They scored 3 points
Starters/Bench
(Total points – bench points = starters points)
Our starters scored 57 points and our bench scored 17 points
Their starters scored 37 points and their bench scored 26 points
Assists
(The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted)
We assisted 17 of our 25 field goals = 68.0%
They assisted 8 of their 22 field goals = 36.4%
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 74 points in 70 possessions = 1.057 points/ possession
They scored 63 points in 71 possessions = 0.887 points/possession
It was a 141 possession game.
Team Shooting Efficiency
(Points minus missed field goals and free throws)
We scored 74 points, missed 29 field goals and 11 missed free throws = net 34
They scored 63 points, missed 43 field goals and 6 missed free throws = net 14
(Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot)
We scored 74 on 28 two point attempts, 26 three point attempts and 23 free throw attempts = 74 of a possible 157 points = 47.1% of possible points scored.
They scored 63 on 30 two point attempts, 35 three point attempts and 14 free throw attempts = 63 of a possible 179 points = 35.2% 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)
18-11, 10-14, 20-6, 26-32
Fouls
(Two point shots and free throws attempted per times fouled.)
We attempted 28 two point shots, attempted 23 free throws and were fouled 23 times = 1.22; 1.00
They attempted 30 two point shots, attempted 14 free throws and were fouled 14 times = 2.14; 1.00
We were more likely to get calls when attempting two point shots and both teams got the same number of free throws per foul.
Comments
- We had five guys in double figures for Net Points for the first time this season.
- Elijah Hughes opened each half with a trey and scored just two other points.
- We are normally good in unsettled situations but to have only 2 second chance points on 9 offensive rebounds is a shockingly bad stat, at least as bad as our free throw shooting.
- 10 unforced turnovers negated the impact of our 8 steals.
- The Cuse.com box score is again wrong: Pitt had 23 points in the paint, 11 three pointers and 8 free throws made. That’s 64 points. They scored 63 points. SU had 23 points in the paint, 12 three pointers and 12 free throws made That’s 71 points. They scored 74 points. The only other place to score is between the paint and the three point line and any shot from there is worth 2 points. It’s not possible to get 3 points from there. I recorded those figures above but the 23 PIP for each is obviously wrong, (and I couldn’t find that stat anywhere else). It makes me wonder what else is wrong, (like those 2 second chance points).
- If the 47-22 edge in “First Chance Points” is correct, it’s the second straight game in which we were =25 in our initial sets, the two best performances of the season.
- Assists are an opinion part 2: At Duke 37% of our baskets were ‘assisted’, 68% of theirs. In the Dome vs. Pitt, 68% of our baskets were assisted, 36% of theirs.
- The foul numbers and two point shots above are badly skewed by all the fouling Pitt did in the final couple of minutes. When you are fouling before any shot can be taken just to put the other team on the line in hopes that they will miss and you’ll get the ball back, no two point shots are being taken. Pitt fouled more at the end of the game than any team I’ve seen since Murray Arnold had his western Kentucky team fouling even before the inbound pass in the 1987 sub-regional game at the Dome, (the last NCAA game Syracuse ever played at the Dome). That game took about a half hour to complete the final minute as the score mounted, (we won 104-86), and the boos rained down. Jeff Capel seems cut from the same stubborn cloth.
