Unusual stat last night

[Eric15]

We had zero blocks as a team - I feel that's very rare for any team, especially Syracuse.

There were at least two clean blocks blown as fouls. I'm almost certain on one of those, the whistle blew before contact.

We also had nearly twice as many steals (13) as assists (7). I don't know whether that is rare, but it surely seems unusual.

I think we were actually credited with 1 block

 

[Timonen]

not surprised. they took a weirdly small number of 2 point shots.

That is very rare. We had a couple that were called fouls though...very inconsistent officiating last night!

not sure if it translated on TV, but there were atleast two fouls where the whistle blew before contact. Not to say they couldn't have been fouls, but the calls were anticipation calls at best.

I thought he had one at least. Oh well

 

[Rocco]

Oh we had a few blocks for sure. It's just that the lobs in stripes saw them as fouls. Garbage.

When you have 13 steals as a team you are not going to get blocks on those plays at least!

Lots of steals + lots of threes from the them.

 

[Dave85]

"Behind 13 steals, second most this season by SU, the Orange scored 19 points off of 16 Boston College turnovers for a 10-point margin. With a 14-7 edge on the offensive glass, Syracuse outscored the Eagles 17-8 in second chance point and also enjoyed a dominating performance in the paint with a 32-12 advantage."

Yep, BC took 34 shots, and 21 were threes. Only 13 two-point attempts. (Very Fibonacci!)

They shot 50% from the floor and we shot 45% but we took 53 shots to their 34.
