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.
James Southerland +18NP in 29M season: +243NP in 551M per 40M: +17.6NP
Scoop Jardine +14NP in 33M season: +317NP in 814M per 40M: +15.6NP

Comment: I don't knwo what's wrong with CJ Fair, who is fading badly at the wrong time. But everyone else ahd a "positive" game, inclduign the two centers.
Offensive Dude of the Game: Scoop Jardine won it on gross numbers, (11 points and 7 assists = 18). James Southerland won the per minute crown, (15 + 1 = 16 in 29 minutes, or 22.1 over 40 minutes compared to 21.8 for Jardine). Using gross numbers, Waiters has been the ODOG 11 times, Joseph 9 times, Jardine 9 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, Southerland 3 times, Joseph twice , Keita, Christmas and Carter-Williams once each. (They don’t add up to 28 because of ties).
Shooting Breakdown: SU was 20/33 (..606: we are .523 on the season- we were .527 last year and .571 two years ago) from inside the arc, 5/23 from outside, (.217) and 17/24 from the line (.708). UNC-Asheville was 12/26 (.462), 9/23, (.391), and 14/16, (.875) 16 of our 25 baskets were assisted, (64%), vs. 17 of UNC-Asheville‘s 21, (81%).
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 72 points in this game, 34 in the paint and 17 from the line so he had 21 POP in this game. We have 901 points outside the paint in 34 games, an average of 26.5 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), 379 in 15 games away from the Dome, (25.3). If you count only “true” road games, it’s 244 in 10 (24.4).
Rebounding: Syracuse had 15 offensive and 21 defensive rebounds. UNC-Asheville had 10 offensive and 28 defensive rebounds. That means that when we missed, we got the rebound 42% of the time. When they missed, they got the rebound 36% of the time. UNC-Asheville had 12 turnovers, of which 5 were Syracuse steals, (42%). Syracuse had 9 turnovers of which 3 were UNC-Asheville steals, (33%). We had 45 “manufactured” possessions, (our rebounds + their turnovers). They had 41. For the year we’ve manufactured 1758 possessions to 1599 for the opposition so we are up +159 in 34 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: 56 FGA minus 15 offensive rebounds plus 8 turnovers plus 47.5% of 24 free throws = 60.4 possessions. The possessions can’t be more than one off so I’ll call that 60 possessions in which we scored 72 points or 1.200 points per possession. For the season it’s 1.125.
UNC-Asheville: 49-10+12 plus 47.5% of 16 = 58.6 possessions. Let’s call that 59 possessions, (so we won’t be more than one off) in which they scored 65 points or 1.102 points per possession. For the season it’s 0.915.
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 15-15, 15-19, 18-13, 24-18. We’ve had 29 sub 15 point quarters this year and lost 36 quarters (of 136). Here are the averages per quarter: 15-14, 19-12, 18-16, 21-18 .
