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 +27NP in 30M season: +46NP in 77M per 40M: +23.9NP

Comment: J-South can sure put up some number sin a hurry. But he’s doing it on both ends now. I think once again we may have the country’s best 6th man. MCW hasn’t led any game so far in net points but he ahs the most on the season. He’s the one key player in any game. The rest can go up and down like an elevator bank but he’s got to contribute every night for us to be good. So far, he has. I’d like to see Triche became a guy we can rely on ,too but he seems to be trying to do too much. I still think he’s in competition with MCW more than in concert with him. The guy I thought might be the star of this team, CJ Fair, kind of disappeared after his opening burst in San Diego. He looked as if he was trying to play like a star, with a lot of dribble dives to the basket. He seemed to relax more vs. Princeton and use his greatest ability: to be in the right place at the right time. Coleman stopped using those high school moves and went to a catch and shoot/ rebound and follow mode and it worked for him. Someday he’ll be AO inside but not yet.
The following players have led the team in net points in a game this year: CJ Fair, (1), James Southerland (1), Brandon Triche (1).
Shooting Breakdown: SU was 22/41 (.537) from inside the arc, 5/16 from outside, (.313) and 14/20 from the line (.700). Princeton was 9/20 (.450), 8/18, (.444), and 11/13, (.846), a really dismal performance. 14 of our 27 baskets were assisted, (52%), vs. 15 of Princeton‘s 17, (88%).
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 73 points in this game, 26 in the paint and 14 from the line so he had 33 POP in this game, or 45%. Princeton had 24 POP, or 45%. We averaged 26.4 POP last year, 35.8% of our points.
The “Offensive Dude of the Game”, (points + assists) was James Southerland with 22 points and 1 assists for a total of 23. So far the following players have been “Offensive Dudes”: James Southerland (1), Brandon Triche (1), and Michael Carter-Williams (1).
Rebounding: Syracuse had 16 offensive and 15 defensive rebounds. Princeton had 7 offensive and 16 defensive rebounds. That means that when we missed, we got the rebound 50% of the time. When they missed, they got the rebound 32% of the time. Princeton had 24 turnovers, of which 19 were Syracuse steals, (79%). Syracuse had 13 turnovers of which 9 were Princeton steals, (69%). We had 55 “manufactured” possessions, (our rebounds + their turnovers). They had 36.
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 16 offensive rebounds plus 13 turnovers plus 47.5% of 20 free throws = 63.5 possessions. The possessions can’t be more than one off so I’ll call that 63 possessions in which we scored 73 points or 1.159 points per possession. We are 1.032 on the season. Last season it was 1.126.
Princeton: 38-7+24 plus 47.5% of 13 = 61.175 possessions. Let’s call that 62 possessions, (so we won’t be more than one off) in which they scored 53 points or 0.855 points per possession. They are 0.733 on the season. Last season it was 0.927. (In three games the opposition has scored 49, 57 and 53 points. Those numbers won’t beat us very often.)
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 20-8, 16-17, 19-16, 18-12.For the year, the average score per quarter is 18-11, 17-11, 20-12, 20-15. Last year the averages per quarter were: 15-14, 19-12, 18-17, 21-18.
