Oshae Brissett and Frank Howard 40 minutes [B]Team Stats:[/B] [I](I’ve decided to put the team that won the stat in bold and ties in italics.)[/I] POSSESSION [I]Rebounding[/I] (Add each team’s offensive rebounds to their opponent’s defensive rebounds. Then figure the offensive rebounds as a percentage of that) We rebounded 7 of our 23 misses = 30.4% [B]They rebounded 14 of their 41 misses = 34.1%[/B] [I]Effective Offensive Rebounding[/I] (Divide second chance points by the offensive rebounds) [B]We got 9 points on 7 O-Rebs = 1.286 points/O-reb[/B] They got 15 points on 14 O-Rebs = 1.071 points/O-reb [I]Unforced Turnovers[/I] (Total turnovers – the other team’s steals = unforced turnovers) We had 18 turnovers – 7 steals = 11 unforced [B]They had 12 turnovers – 7 steals = 5 unforced[/B] [I]Points per Takeaway[/I] (Points off turnovers divided by the number of turnovers the other team had) [B]We had 14 points from 12 takeaways = 1.167 points/takeaway[/B] They had 14 points from 18 takeaways = 0.778 points/takeaway [I]Unsettled Situations[/I] (Effective offensive rebounding + Points per Takeaway: [Second Chance Point + Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers) [B]We had 23 points in 19 unsettled situations = 1.211 points[/B] They had 29 points in 32 unsettled situations = 0.906 points [I]Manufactured Possessions[/I] (One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers) We had 34 + 12 = 46 [B]They had 30 + 18 = 48[/B] [B]Scoring[/B] [I]Shooting[/I] (shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws) We were [B]19 [/B]for 25 on twos, [B](76.0%),[/B] 4 for 17 on threes [B](23.5%) [/B]and[B] 23[/B] for 29 on frees[B] (79.3%)[/B] They were 17 for 35 on twos, (48.6%), [B]6 [/B]for 29 on threes (20.7[I]%[/I]) and 12 for 13 on frees ([B]92.3%)[/B] [I]Points[/I] (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 [I]32 PIP[/I], 18 POP, 12 TREY, [B]6 TZ[/B], [I]14 POTO[/I][B],[/B] [I]6 FBP[/I] They had [I]32 PIP[/I], [B]20 POP[/B], [B]18 TREY[/B], 2 TZ, [I]14 POTO[/I], [I]6 FBP[/I] [I]Fast Break Percentage[/I] (FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals) We scored 6 FBP in 41 opportunities (14.6%) [B]They scored 6 FBP in 26 opportunities (23.1%)[/B] [I]First Chance/Second Chance[/I] (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 [B]35 FCP [/B]and 9 SCP They had 31 FCP and [B]15 SCP[/B] [I]Last Possessions[/I] (Points scored on the last full possession of a half, a game or an overtime period.) We scored 0 points [B]They scored 2 points[/B] [I]Starters/Bench[/I] (Total points – bench points = starters points) Our [B]starters scored 73 points[/B] and our bench scored 0 points Their starters scored 42 points and their [B]bench scored 22 points[/B] [I]Assists[/I] (The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted) We assisted 13 of our 23 field goals = 56.5% [B]They assisted 16 of their 23 field goals = 69.6%[/B] [I]Team Offensive Efficiency[/I] (Possessions: Field goals attempted - offensive rebounds + turnovers + 47.5% of free throws attempted. Efficiency is total points divided by possessions) [B]We scored 73 points in 67 possessions = 1.090 points/ possession[/B] They scored 64 points in 68 possessions = 0.941 points/possession It was a 111 possession game. (We are averaging 131 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) 22-7, 8-17, 22-13, 21-27 [B]Fouls[/B] (Two point shots and free throws attempted per times fouled.) We attempted 25 two point shots, attempted 29 free throws and were fouled 21 times = 1.19[B] 1.38[/B] They attempted 35 two point shots, attempted 13 free throws and were fouled 18 times = [B]1.94; 0.72[/B] They were more likely to get calls when attempting two point shots and we got more free throws out of it when fouled. The difference was significant. Despite our perception that we weren’t “getting the calls”, the numbers suggest that we got plenty of them. [B]Comments: [/B] - I’m amazed Dolezaj got 1 assists in that game. I thought he had more alley-oops to Chukwu than that. - The shot distribution in that awful performance vs. BC: Howard 20, Battle 18, Brissett 8, Chukwu 3, Dolezaj/Moyer: 1. In this game: 8-9-11-7-7. This is what happens when they have to guard everyone. - Another stat that surprised me after having watched the game: Wake got 14 offensive rebounds to our 7? I guess that includes recovering the loose balls after our blocks. They got several of those. - Let me repeat the breakdown by quarters: 22-7, 8-17, 22-13, 21-27. If we are to beat UNC, or win many more games after that, we have to keep the pressure on the other team for 40 minutes. [/QUOTE]
