Quite frankly, I am going to take a step back and focus on some trends rather than in game details:
- The guards shooting percentages: Anderson (31%), Polley(32%), Vital (37%), Larrier (40%), Adam’s (41%).
- Bigs shooting percentages:
Carlton (51%), Diarra (51%), Dave O (52%) , Williams (54%), Whaley (57%)
Ok, the Bigs have a talent ceiling etc , however there is still merit to getting the ball to the Bigs. However, this team seldom does that. KO’s guard centric offense ignores these stats.
With the various 3 guard lineups, the Bigs only account for 32% of the team’s minutes. That is part of the reason rebounding is so poor.
3 point FG% - we trail our opponents 36% to 31% - that accounts for a margin of 5-6 points a game - another way we lose games.
Now back to the game - Our scoring has improve but our inability to rebound puts further pressure on a bad defense. The parts of the game that are most determined by heart are the parts we do the worse in. It’s more than just a talent deficient, that is easier for the casual fan to detect.
We are a better transition team than half court but transition starts with rebounding.
Kwintin Williams has more offensive rebounds than Polley or Anderson despite playing a fraction of their minutes.
Just gave Davis a three by over helping - triple teaming a guy in the paint. A theme this year.
Can’t believe Dave O is an Ivy Grad - he just got caught in a bad switch at crunch time - a Bigs first priority is to protect the paint.
Why do we foul on a wild three with 28 seconds left? B.B. IQ issue?
Two mental errors giving the ball to a 62% foul shooter rather than 85% Adams . Then leaving their best 3 point shooter unguarded.
Adams played really well today. I hope that trend continues.
