Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1980929, 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.

SCP is second chance points.)[/I] We had 38 FCP and 8 SCP They had 49 FCP and 18 SCP Starters/Bench [I](Total points – bench points = starters points)[/I] Our starters scored 42 points and our bench scored 18 points Their starters scored 71 points and their bench scored 6 points Assists [I](The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted)[/I] We assisted 9 of our 21 field goals, 42.9% They assisted 21 of their 29 field goals 72.4% Team Offensive Efficiency [I](Possessions: Field goals attempted - offensive rebounds + turnovers + 47.5% of free throws attempted.

We had only 17. Vs. South Carolina it was 21-20 in our favor. - “Manufactured possessions” were 82-104 in the two games. - Our points in the paint, surprisingly, were much more competitive vs. Wisconsin, (22-28) that it had been vs. South Carolina (8-30). Our shooting from two point range improved from .276-.469. - But our three point shooting declined from .400 to .261 while Wisconsin shot .473 compared to South Carolina’s .308. - We had 26 POP in both games but gave up 20 to South Carolina and then 41 to Wisconsin. - We lost both first chance points 38-49 and second chance points 8-18 to Wisconsin, a bad combination. - We won bench points 18-6 but lost starters points 41-71 so it didn’t mean much. - The first ten minutes of each half we were out-scored 22-47. We won the second ten minutes 38-30 but it was too little, too late. [/QUOTE]
