Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 73467, member: 289"] 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. For this least post of the season I’m going to list them in order of minutes played in the season, not net points in the most recent game: Kris Joseph +14NP in 27M season: +14NP in 27M per 40M: +20.7 CJ Fair +13NP in 21M season: +13NP in 21M per 40M: +24.8 Dion Waiters +13NP in 22M season: +13NP in 22M per 40M: +23.6 James Southerland +12NP in 20M season: +12NP in 20M per 40M: +24.0 Fab Melo +8NP in 19M season: +8NP in 19M per 40M: +16.8 Scoop Jardine +7NP in 18M season: +7NP in 18M per 40M: +15.6 Rakeem Christmas +7NP in 20M season: +7NP in 20M per 40M: +14.0 Brandon Triche +6NP in 16M season: +6NP in 16M per 40M: +15.0 Michael Carter-Williams 0NP in 18M season: 0NP in 18M per 40M: 0.0 Baye Moussa Keita -1NP in 9M season: -1NP in 9M per 40M: -4.4 Mookie Jones -2NP in 5M season: -2NP in 5M per 40M: -16.0 　 Shooting Breakdown: SU was 23/43 from inside the arc, (.535 - last year it was .527, the year before, .571) ,7/21 from outside, (.333) and 11/18 from the line (.611). [U]Fordham[/U] was 14/31 (.452), 4/21, (.19.0) and 13/21, (.619). 15 of our 30 baskets were assisted, (50%), vs. 13 of [U]Fordham’s[/U] 18, (72%). Rebounding: Syracuse had 16 offensive and 27 defensive rebounds. [U]Fordham[/U] had 10 offensive and 22 defensive rebounds. That means that when we missed, we got the rebound 42%. When they missed, they got the rebound 27% of the time. [U]Fordham[/U] had 19 turnovers, of which 11 were Syracuse steals, (58%). Syracuse had 15 turnovers of which 10 were [U]Fordham [/U]steals, (67%). We had 62 “manufactured” possessions, (our rebounds + their turnovers). They had 47. 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: 64 FGA minus 16 offensive rebounds plus 15 turnovers plus 47.5% of 18 free throws = 71.55 possessions. The possessions can’t be more than one off so I’ll call that 72 possessions in which we scored 78 points or 1.083 points per possession. For the season it’s 1.083. Fordham [U]: 52-10+19 plus 47.5% of 21= 70.975 possessions. Let’s call that 71 possessions, (so we won’t be more than one off) in which they scored 53 points or 0.746 points per possession. For the season it’s 0.746.[/U] 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 minutes quarters as well. The “quarterly” splits in this game were 16-8, 16-11, 24-17, 22-17 1-0 and 30 more LET’S GO ORANGE!!! [/QUOTE]
