Borges practice box score

[Huskyforlife]

Can someone decipher?

Chat GPT actually cooked with this, some of it doesn't add up but maybe that's just Borges's error.

Sure! The tweet gives a very unofficial basketball box score from a scrimmage. The format is typical for a basic box score line:


Player Name – Field Goals Made (FGM) – Free Throws Made-Attempted (FT) – Total Points


But this one condenses the field goals into just total made field goals (not FG attempts), and gives free throws as "made-attempted". Let's break it down player by player:

Player	FGM	FT (M-A)	Points
Mullins	4	0-0	11
Reed	6	4-6	17
Demary	1	0-0	2
Stewart	2	0-0	4
Jay. Ross	3	0-0	8
Millender	2	0-1	7
Koroma	3	1-1	7
Karaban	10	0-0	26
Ball	4	0-0	12
Jac. Ross	2	1-1	5
Furphy	2	0-0	4

Interpretation Notes:

• The first number is field goals made, but it's unclear if it includes only 2-pointers or a mix with 3s. The total points often suggest a mix (e.g., Mullins has 4 FGs but 11 points—likely hit a 3 or two).
• FT made/attempted gives context on scoring efficiency.
• Jay. Ross and Jac. Ross are likely two different players (e.g., Jayson and Jace Ross or something similar).

Three 3's for Mullins based on the math. Would also suggest Tarris nailed a three. Ross had 2. Millender's number make no sense, so something is screwy here.

Top 4 scorers are who'd you hope for, exception being Demary. We need him to be great. Who was guarding Tarris?

Someone doesn't follow hs basketball! You have to report this to the papers after varsity games.

FGM FTM/FTA PTS

Always wished they did fgm/fga. Like 2 points for demary could be a concern... or he could have been 1/1 from the floor and focused on playing the role of floor leader.

Reibe isn't playing. He's in a boot. Wonder who guarded Reed

Where's Reibe?

 

[bjc42]

Why can't Borges just be a normal person and release the stats like they normally show up.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Where's Reibe?

Millender somehow got 7 points out of two made FG's and no free throws. These guys playing with a 4pt logo shot?

I like a guy who can average 3.5 points per basket. Those guys add value in ways you don't often see.

Looks like great O and crappy D

 

[TRest]

Dan saying they hope social media isn't hammering kids who didn't play well this early, caused them a lot of angst last year? C'mon.

Thanks for posting. Do I have to teach you how to embed a tweet also? Do you want to learn?

@temery, when is the new site going to be up and running so we'll all have embedded tweets without the tricks?

Oh, a new site - I can't wait to see what this new Boneyard cadillac looks like. V6 engine?

Right at the end Hurley mentioned Furphy playing some PG

Another way to get him on the floor.

I imagine Borges to be one of these old school reporters who would have been wearing a gentleman's cap and smoking a cigarette in the 20's while taking his notes. Today he's probably taking all his notes in with a number 2 pencil on the back of a white bag that his bacon/egg/cheese came in.

 

[Peacefrog]

I'm hoping to see Ball score in ways beyond just 3-pointers. It would probably help him if he could keep defenders honest by getting to the rim here and there.

DC practing with the team today.

I love this! Going up against DC is pretty rough. Wonder how Tarris did?

Pretty much tracks what most of us have assumed re: starting lineups/rotations/strengths and weaknesses right?

Really the only starting spot up in the air is the 3, and whomever loses out on that one is first man off the bench. One of Stewart/Ross hopefully breaks through and either starts or gets major minutes. Furphy potentially in play for rotation but likely not major minutes this year. Reed needs to stay healthy out of foul trouble as much as humanly possible for this team to reach ceiling.
