Message: [QUOTE="ConwayGmck, post: 4511040, member: 10442"] In the 4th Period, South Carolina's starting 5 played a total of 0 of the possible 50 minutes, compared to Arkansas' starting five playing a total of 22 minutes. Those reserves for the Gamecocks shot 5-20 (25.0%) for the quarter, and pulled down 18 rebounds. In the 1st Period, the Gamecocks shot 8-18 (44.4%) and pulled down 19 boards. In the 2nd Period, they shot 9-18 (50.0%) and collected 19 rebounds. In the 3rd Period, they shot 8-20 (40.0%) and pulled down 18 rebounds. Through the first 3 quarters of play, the Gamecocks shot 25-56 (44.6%) and pulled down 56 rebounds. The 44.6% accuracy is not far from their season average of 47.6% which is just outside of top 10 nationally, and would be a top 50 national ranking for FG % which is decent, and certainly does not fall into "simply atrocious" as a category. The 56 rebounds would lead the nation if it was the season average. Conclusion: [IMG]https://providencerules.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/misleading.gif?w=208[/IMG] The Gamecocks did NOT shoot at a "simply atrocious" rate for much of their game versus Arkansas as the respondent claimed, but actually shot decent to excellent throughout the first 3 quarters, and STILL generated high rebounding numbers. In fact, in the 1st half, the Gamecocks shot 17-36 (47.2%) and still collected MORE rebounds than they did in the 2nd half, when they shot 13-40 (32.5%). Based on Respondent's theory, one would have expected the Gamecocks to have pulled down MORE rebounds - and not less - rebounds in the 2nd half, than they pulled down in the 1st half. :cool: [/QUOTE]
