I’m sure she’s concerned with how she looks to “HuskyHawk” who’s undoubtedly ripped, young and flowing with Brad Pitt energy.

She should be concerned about the amateur hair color. I thought it looked horrid and so did my wife.

 

[DRBackup]

We do this incredibly well under Dan Hurley

Show me where that's broken down based on 2 vs. 3 point shots, which was his point, not offensive rebounding overall

Maybe I misunderstood, but the point as I understood it was we take too many 3's and as a result are a poor offensive rebounding team. That is objectively false

 

[DRBackup]

I agree but that’s not what we did yesterday. Seemed like a lot of our 3s came off passes from the perimeter or pick and rolls where we pulled it.

Not a lot of penetrating to create those.

Especially early in the second half. A lot of quick, pull-up threes.

The biggest weakness last year has been addressed. Silas and Malachi will take care of the penetrating guards, and they will create defensive havoc. Reibe was, if I am being honest, better than I expected at this early juncture. The kid clearly has game. I know that we still have the Florida game fresh in our minds. And further, this game seemed like a continuation of that 3 point futility. However, context is important: in a night where nobody was making 3's, missing our starting center and PG, we still beat an ACC team by double figures. And we would have beat them by 30 if we shot slightly better from 3, even while missing 2 key pieces of our team. Let that marinate for a bit. That is a big deal. Other random observations from yours truly:

Indeed. Despite BC being BAD last year, KenPom has them around the same preseason efficiency as Georgetown and Seton Hall, predicting we win at home by 15 and on the road by 10. Missing two starters and winning by 19, while shooting poorly ? I'll take it.

Nope. Pretty sure he meant as a good offensive rebounding team, you'd think we'd get a lot of them off threes, but we don't. That's what I saw as well

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Agree 100%. We need to attack and pound first and then when we work out the jitters and get in rhythm can start taking 3s. It's too variable to rely on.

Yea that sounds like a recipe for basketball success.

Maybe even give the opposing team pregame notice you won’t be shooting any 3’s until you “work out the jitters”. I’m sure it’ll all work out fine.

What, you mean like a game against Florida where we generally out played them in every facet of the game but went 8-29 from 3 and lost?

Teams that jack a ton of threes for a living end up being soft. There is no imposition of will.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Do they break down percentages of offensive rebounds by shooter vs. non-shooter? I imagine a player getting his own rebound accounts for the majority of close range O boards.

My understanding is that I think you can get that level of granularity from the raw data downloads. You’d have to put it Excel and start doing some filtering, etc. But none of the articles I read broke it down by which position player got the reb

Where can you download the raw data?

Weak side rebounds from the helping defender's man are the real problem.

 

[Waquoit]

Just as good as early Donovan? You mean the Donovan that was MVP of the PK 80 about 3 games into his freshman season?

He still has another month and a half.

Actually, Reibe reminded me of Donovan's early games.

If you remember, early in Donovan's freshman season he didn't dunk very often. The BY was very aware of DC going a little soft to the rim in those early games.

I think it may be free or nominal cost.

Apparently, SportVU did it until 2017. Then NBA switched contract to Second Spectrum. The websites are here, can't check them out in detail now, but happy browsing...there's also a ton of downloadable data right off the NBA stats website:

The basketball Hall of Fame game was played 100 miles from the basketball Hall of Fame? What am I missing?

I was wondering the same thing, but also can’t think of any arena or place in Springfield for an event like this. Not sure if one exists (or if there is one at MGM). HuskyHawk’s link seems to give the best explanation- a partnership

Thank you!!

The healthy 9 are:

Demary/Ball/Mullins/Karaban/Reed

Smith/Ross/Stew/Reibe

Furphy might get some minutes in wide margin situations, nobody else is touching the floor in competitive games.

Yeah but Koroma will see time as well. Depending on matchups and foul trouble the minutes will vary but he will be a piece. He can handle and pass, defend on the post as well.

 

[mauconnfan]

And his backup (Millender) looked good too.

Much more there than I thought, I agree. Seemed composed and smart with the ball, not fast on D but also uses his brains down there. Like that kid!

 

[Edward Sargent]

One of the benefits to shooting lots of threes via analytics is getting the long O rebound, yet we don’t do this all too well as a team, do we?

From this game our best O rebounder is Koroma!

 

[Edward Sargent]

I suspect there may be growing pains with Reibe (as expected with pretty much any freshman, especially a freshman big) and Koroma will get run. He’s undersized but athletic and seems to have good hedging/switchability. Also, we kinda know that Tarris and Reibe will likely be in foul trouble somewhat often.

He's a good rebounder as well

Who is this guy? Is he a UConn fan? Someone tell him Eric's last name isn't Reebie. Although I'm certain we will have some game announcers calling him that this season.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

My first immediate thoughts was how aggressive and locked-in the defense looked and related to that, I thought Mullins looked more than ready to be an all-around stud this year. Huge fan of his defensive grit and all-around motor. Epitomizes “Blue Collar Blue Blood”.

Also, really liked Malachi Smith’s play. Shocked we got a guy that good to be our backup guard. Freakin’ bulldog.

 

[freshler40]

The Ross/Stewart separation will be an interesting dynamic to watch. I agree with you here. In this lineup, Ross brings something to the team that Stew doesn't, perimeter defense. Not sure what Stew compliments this roster with other than just being depth.

Stu can light it up, has and shows great promise, needs consistency. Keep his head in the game.

 

[freshler40]

Demary 15 / Smith 25
Ball 25 / Demary 15
Mullins 25 / Ball 5 / Stew 5 / Ross 5
Karaban 30 / Stew 10
Reed 30 / Reibe 10

30: Demary / Ball / Karaban / Reed
25: Smith / Mullins
15: Stew
10: Reibe
5: Ross

Whoever gets more PT between Ross and Stew could come down to game by game situations. Don’t think one necessarily will carve out a bigger role as the season progresses.

Ross might be used to shut down a hot opposing player; he did that against BC very well and relishes that roll. His offense needs to finish but I love his hops. He plays long and might produce 10 points a game if he can finish better.
