Message: [QUOTE="Gonzo, post: 133122, member: 814"] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Heading into our conference opener with Seton Hall:[/COLOR][/FONT] [U][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]What’s Hot[/COLOR][/FONT][/U] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman]The Orange is undefeated with a 13-0 record and number one ranked in the country. In its past four games it scored an average of 83 points while giving up an average of just 61 and employing a ten-man rotation in essentially all but one of these (NC State). [/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]In its past four games SU is 58-75 from the free throw line for a 77% success rate, compared to 69% for the whole year including these games.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]In its past three games, SU is shooting 29-63 from behind the arc for a 45.3% success rate, compared to 37.4% for the entire season to date. [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]After turning the ball over an already respectable 12.2 times per game after the first nine contests, the Orange dialed it down to just 8.5 times per game in the past four. [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]The team’s depth and diversity continues with 10 players contributing on an increasingly regular basis. James Southerland, Rakeem Christmas, and Michael Carter-Williams in particular have gotten added minutes recently that should bolster their confidence heading into conference play. [/COLOR][/FONT] [U][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]What’s Not/Questions:[/COLOR][/FONT][/U] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]What is the status of Brandon Triche’s injuries?[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Where is the rebounding in general? Over the past four games we were dead even in this category at 111-111. But we were outrebounded in 3 of the 4 games, and when the Bucknell game is excluded, we were beaten 76-88. [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Where has CJ’s rebounding gone more specifically? As the team’s leading rebounder (currently tied with KJ), CJ has averaged a meager 2 boards per game over the past five. After averaging 7.5 rebounds in the first eight games, he is now down to 5.4 for the season. [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]After creating an average of nearly 19 turnovers a game in the first 11 contests, SU generated just 23 combined against Tulane and Bucknell. SU had a positive turnover margin of 7.4 per game over its first 11 but this dropped to a positive 2.5 the past two contests. [/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
