Take all the positives: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks and subtract the negatives: missed field goals, miss free throws, turnovers and fouls. The result is “Net Points.” (NP). M = minutes.
Dion Waiters +25NP in 32M season: +352NP in 790M per 40M: +17.8NP
Fab Melo +14NP in 33M season: +308NP in 763M per 40M: +16.1NP
CJ Fair +9NP in 22M season: +337NP in 879M per 40M: +15.3NP

Michael Carter-Williams -2NP in 0+M season: +105NP in 269M per 40M: +15.6NP
Comment: Kris had 6NP in 71 minutes for the tournament, Scoop 0 in 44 minutes. Dion had 38 in 56 minutes.
Offensive Dude of the Game: Dion Waiters won it both on gross numbers, (28 points and 4 assists = 32), and per minutes, (32 minutes, or 40.0 over 40 minutes). Using gross numbers, Using gross numbers, Waiters has been the ODOG 11 times, Joseph 9 times, Jardine 8 times, Southerland and Triche 4 times and Fair once. If you go by per 40 minutes averages, Waiters has been the ODOG 11 times, Jardine and Triche 8 times, Joseph and Southerland 2, Keita, Christmas and Carter-Williams once each. (They don’t add up to 28 because of ties).
Shooting Breakdown: SU was 10/28 (..357: we are .521 on the season- we were .527 last year and .571 two years ago) from inside the arc, 13/29 from outside, (.448) and 9/16 from the line (.563). Cincinnati was 15/33 (.455), 10/22, (.455), and 11/18, (.611) 15 of our 23 baskets were assisted, (65%), vs. 17 of Cincinnati‘s 25, (68%).
POP: I’ll credit the Axeman for naming this. A common stat is “points in the paint”. But what about the points outside the paint? The game gets a lot harder if you have to plow through the defense to get to the basket to score. Jump shots, (and not just three pointers), are an important part of any team’s offense. You can’t rely on them too much as they are the most inconsistent part of the game but you have to have the capacity to score over the defense or else you are likely to struggle. The formula is simple: Total points minus points in the paint minus free throws.
We scored 68 points in this game, 18 in the paint and 9 from the line so he had 41 POP in this game. We have 880 points outside the paint in 33 games, an average of 26.7 per game. We’ve scored 2461 points, or 35.8%, have come outside the paint. We’ve had 522 POP in 19 home games, (27.5), 358 in 14 games away from the Dome, (25.6). If you count only “true” road games, it’s 244 in 10 (24.4).
Rebounding: Syracuse had 18 offensive and 18 defensive rebounds. Cincinnati had 17 offensive and 19 defensive rebounds. That means that when we missed, we got the rebound 49% of the time. When they missed, they got the rebound 49% of the time. Cincinnati had 14 turnovers, of which 9 were Syracuse steals, (64%). Syracuse had 15 turnovers of which 11 were Cincinnati steals, (73%). We had 50 “manufactured” possessions, (our rebounds + their turnovers). They had 51. It was the 10th time this year we’ve lost that battle, 9 of them in the last 14 games. For the year we’ve manufactured 1713 possessions to 1558 for the opposition so we are up +155 in 33 games= +4.7 per game.
And, thanks to Blacksquirrels and Knicks411, I now understand how to compute “points per possession, (field goal attempts – offensive rebounds + turnovers plus 47.5% of free throws attempted) and here they are:
Syracuse: 57 FGA minus 18 offensive rebounds plus 15 turnovers plus 47.5% of 16 free throws = 61.6 possessions. The possessions can’t be more than one off so I’ll call that 62 possessions in which we scored 68 points or 1.097 points per possession. For the season it’s 1.124.
Cincinnati: 55-17+14 plus 47.5% of 18 = 60.55 possessions. Let’s call that 61 possessions, (so we won’t be more than one off) in which they scored 71 points or 1.164 points per possession. For the season it’s 0.910.
Dry stretches were a problem last year- we’d go 8-10 minutes with the offense not functioning. I decided it should be a goal to score at least 15 points in every 10 minute “quarter” of the game, (college is the only level that doesn’t have quarters). You want to score more than that, of course, but if we can avoid falling under 15 in any ten minute period we should have a good scoring average because we’ll have 20 and 25 point quarters as well. The “quarterly” splits in this game were 11-25, 12-10, 18-14, 27-22 . We’ve had 29 sub 15 point quarters this year and lost 35 quarters (of 132). Here are the averages per quarter: 15-14, 19-12, 18-16, 21-18 .
