This team needs to prevent "stall ball" going forward

Agreed on all game long, but i feel like even at 10-12 min left we were letting them take time off the clock. could be off on that

Here is something that I don't totally understand.

When we are winning games late, JB likes to go to the stall ball. He has his reasons, and I am not saying he is wrong, so by doing that, he seems to be saying that he thinks it is an effective strategy. So wouldn't it then stand to reason that he should not want the other team to do it against us?

Of course.

But that assumes that Boeheim means what he says. And when he says that a team burning clock plays to our advantage, he's clearly spewing nonsense.

If ND played stallball then howcome they put up 67 points on 13 less possessions, with 13 more rebounds, and 17 Turnovers.

Pitt had 6 more shots then us. We had 4 more shots the MU. SH we had 7 more shots then, Depaul had 4 more opportunities then us in a 87 to 68 high scoring game where they pressed us all game. Providence we had 12 more shots then and 7 the other game. NC state we had 10 more shots then.

Transition shots count as shots so why is it we think stall ball has hurt us more then those games?

Of every BE game we have had it was the stallball game that we had the highest margin of shot differential in our favor and we were outrebounded by 13. So it really doesn't make sense to think stallball hurt us.

And for those who are arguing second chance points...
Marquette had 9 offensive boards like ND yet we only had 4 more shots then them in a non stall ball game. Depaul had 11 offensive boards and had 4 more shots then us still. We only had 7 more shots against providence and they had 1 more offensive board then the ND game.
Pitt had 9 more offensive boards then ND did take 9 of those away and we only get 3 more shots then them.

So opportunity wise it was the stall ball game that we had the most opportunities in and the differential really wasn't to close.

And for those of us who want to argue offensive rebounds being the cause...
We had 6 against pitt. We outrebounded MU's offensive boards by four yet only had 4 more shots then them. Seton Hall only had one more offensive board then us which translates to us only having 6 more shots then them. And Depaul only had 2 more offensive boards then us yet had 4 more shots.

Now can I get a like?
