Net Points, etc. - Villanova

[SWC75]

I will again be doing a report after each game this season and a summary report at the end of each month. (I’ve eliminated some stats from previous years to streamline this post.)

Net Points
(points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks minus missed field goals and free throws, turnovers and personal fouls)

Jimmy Boeheim +14NP in 38 minutes = +114NP in 310 minutes = +14.7NP/40 for season

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 11 of our 41 misses = 26.8%
They rebounded 27 of their 52 misses = 51.9%

Effective Offensive Rebounding
(Divide second chance points by the offensive rebounds)
We got 7 points on 11 O-Rebs = 0.636 points/O-Reb
They got 25 points on 27 O-Rebs = 0.949 points/O-Reb

Points per Takeover
(Points off turnovers divided by the number of turnovers the other team had)
We had 6 points from 10 takeovers = 0.600 points/takeaway
They had 13 points from 11 takeovers = 1.182 points/takeaway

Unsettled Situations
(Effective offensive rebounding + Points per Takeover: [Second Chance Points+ Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers)
We had 13 points in 21 unsettled situations = 0.619 points/situation
They had 38 points in 38 unsettled situations = 1.000 points/situation

Manufactured Possessions
(One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers)
We had 36 + 10 = 46
They had 57 + 11 = 68


Scoring

Shooting
(Shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws)
We were 15 for 41 on twos, (36.6%), 5 for 15 on threes (33.3%) and 8 for 15 on frees (53.3%)
They were 12 for 27 on twos, (44.4%), 13 for 50 on threes (26.0%) and 4 for 6 on frees (66.7%)

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)
FT = Free Throws

We had 22 PIP, 23 POP, 15 OL, 8 TZ, 8 FT
They had 14 PIP, 49 POP, 39 OL, 10 TZ, 4 FT

Fast Break Percentage
(FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals)
We scored 2 FBP in 36 opportunities (5.6%)
They scored 0 FBP in 38 opportunities (0.0%)

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 36 FCP and 7 SCP
They had 38 FCP and 25 SCP

Starters/Bench
(Total points – bench points = starters points)
Our starters scored 53 points and our bench scored 0 points.
Their starters scored 53 points and their bench scored 14 points.

Efficiency

Assists
(The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted)
We assisted 4 of our 20 field goals = 20.0%
They assisted 15 of their 25 field goals = .60.0%

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 53 points in 63 possessions = 0.841 points/ possession
They scored 67 points in 63 possessions = 1.063 points/possession
It was a 126-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 53 points in 63 possessions = 0.841 points/ possession
They scored 67 points in 80 possessions = 0.838 points/possession

Team Shooting Efficiency

(Points minus missed field goals and free throws)

We scored 53 points, missed 36 field goals and missed 15 free throws = net +2
They scored 67 points, missed 42 field goals and missed 6 free throws = net +19

(Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot)

We scored 53 on 41 two-point attempts, 15 three-point attempts and 15 free throw attempts = 63 of a possible 142 points = 37.3% of possible points scored.
They scored 67 on 27 two-point attempts, 50 three-point attempts and 6 free throw attempts = 60 of a possible 210 points = 31.9% of possible points scored.


Fouls

(Most fouls are called on two point shot attempts.)
We attempted 41two-point shots and were fouled 13 times = 3.15
They attempted 27 two-point shots and were fouled 12 times = 2.25


Comments:
- Jesse Edward’s NP the last 5 games: a team -leading 25, 19, 26 and 17 then: 4.
- Our bench not only didn’t score a point: they didn’t score a net point. Frank Anselem and Sym Torrence were both -1. Benny Williams was -3. He now has +3NP in 124 minutes. That’s +0.3NP per 40 minutes.
- We can’t win with Buddy Boeheim pulling a -6NP.
- We’d won the ‘effective offensive rebounding” battle six game sin a row, (total: 81 points from 65 o-rebs vs. 73/76: we were getting fewer of them but scoring more points from them). This game: 7/11 vs. 25/27.
- The same thing carried over to points off turnovers: 6/10 vs. 13/11. Combined, we got 13 points form 21 unsettled situations compared to 38/38. There’s your ball game.
- This was the first game this year in which the team that hit the higher percentage of three pointers didn’t have the most three pointers – and it wasn’t close, 5 to 13.
- Our starters and theirs would have gone into overtime: 53-53.
- The reason we had only 4 assists to their 15 is that we, early on, went to driving to the basket to score. That produces no assists. We did that because Villanova had decided to guard our three point shooters at all costs. Three point shots, especially when the pass comes from inside, don’t require dribbles so the pass becomes an assist. They tried 50 treys because the zone let them and because they turned many of those offensive rebounds into passes back out for threes. Mystery solved.
- This game illustrates why I prefer to leave offensive rebounds and turnovers out of the possessions computation. When you that, it treats every time you regain possession of the ball a separate possession, which shows the impact of the offensive rebounds or turnovers. In this game, it shows that we got basically the same points per possession: 0.841 vs. 0.838. they won because they got more possessions.
- If every shot by both teams had gone in, we’d have lost by 68 points.
- In any game where the opposition isn’t stalling, we need to score a lot more than 53 points. That’s just not Syracuse basketball.
