Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 2543512, member: 880"] I had little interest in doing my job the last 30 minutes, so I put on the Tulane game and I thought I'd count the "good looks" just to see if I was wrong. I have no idea what percentage would constitute a well executed offense. 60%? 70%? So we had 32 offensive possessions and scored 30 points in the first half. 17 of those possessions passed my "good looks" test including drawing a foul and one second chance basket (off a bad shot). 15 of those possessions did not. These included Adams, Vital, and Anderson going one on two/three, contested deep jumpers off the dribble, Larrier fadeaways, unforced turnovers, and guys being given the ball in bad spots (Diarra as a bail out after Vital left his feet and Diarra forcing an airball jump hook.) So it was a little over 50% of the time we got a good look. It was more than I had thought to be honest. So tad bit of egg on my face. However, as August noted, many of our best looks were in the very beginning of the game. That leads me to think two things. #1, as August stated, if we get those good looks but do not hit them, we go into iso-ball. In this game, we hit our early looks so the iso stuff were outliers. #2, the defense adjusted and our half-court offense did not. We ended the half on a 12-2 run where we got good shots off of secondary breaks and Jalen breaking down the defense but we did not get much of anything in the half-court set. [/QUOTE]
