Are we a 65 or 80 point per game team

[RuWishBone]

Those who say somewhere in middle are right but that is our biggest problem we have no idea right now who we are. I rather slow the game down to 55 to 65 range and not worry about 75 t0 85 points per game. We need shots that actually have a shot at going g in the basket. In other words we need high percentage shots not just shots. Our 3 points shots have had a better chance of going in then our 2s. Thinking in stead of reacting seams to work better for us. We play a thinkers defense and a wild offense where the finishs are few and far between. I am worried are you.

80? Lol.
Look like a 60 point team against most B1G teams. What did we average against the B1G teams last year?

 

[RUPete]

Got to commit to rebounding more to get beyond 65 and closer to 80. Teams will get out rebounded in games, but getting doubled up is disgusting and you can’t win that way.

This team might be able to score 80 vs. Nebraska or Minnesota who run and gun and don’t play D. Not sure if we beat either of them, however. No way we score near that vs. most of the league since we can’t rebound or shoot.

Can we please stop it with the raw scoring!

Things need to be quoted in points per possession. Scoring 75 points in 75 possessions is the same as 60 in 60 possessions.

It is like saying I have 70,000 money. Am i talking dollars or yen.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

If we average 66 ppg in B1G play and average 62 possessions I like our chance of being .500 or better

We cannot and I repeat cannot have 3 of our guards Derek , Noah and JMike go 1-6, 1-5, and 1-6 and score 7,3 and 3 points. I expect those 3 to get at least 30 a game. Those 3 guys have to play better against better competition and the rest of the BiG 10. Cliff has been tremendously underwhelming as well. The 2 losses had 3 of the 4 players have bad games. I am giving JMike a pass but Noah, Derek and especially Cliff have to get those shottty games out of their systems. That might have been Cliff’s worst game since he got here and his ending with 8 rebounds and 8 blocks doesn’t take away from it being one of his worst games.

We are going get up and down from Hyatt , Wolf and Gavin at this point and even Austin that you might or might not live with but you then need Noah, Derek and Cliff to lead your team in scoring , shooting , foul shots and defense. Asking for 12 a night from the 2 guards and at least 15 from Cliff is not asking a lot. Time for them to step up because Saturday was not the finest hour

This is what we think we know…..

We are 3/4 pressing making teams initiiate offense with 10-20 seconds on the shot clock. This reduces the amount of possessions

We are having dificulties d rebounding. We will need all 5 guys rebounding which makes it tougher to fast break. This will lead to longer possessions.

Be prepared for 63ish possessions per game. 66 points will win 1/2 games with 63 possessions

But that’s our big issue right now. Guards help out on good rebounding teams. The want is there for our guards but they are undersized and are getting outmuscled. I don’t know how you can address or mask that.

You can see our DREB% here. Simpson and Fernandes are DREB at acceptable rates given their position. I suppose Cliff is revounding OK, but when you consider our 3 and 4 arent rebounding you would expect Cliff, all things equal, to be 3-4% higher than normal.

Woolfolk and Gavin are real killers on the DREB%. Aundre could be higher too.

But with a bad shooting team is acceptable good enough? I don’t want to kill our guards because like I said the effort is there, they are just overmatched. Need to get Mag and Ogbule healthy to help out.

We have no high percentage shots. We can't even hit foul shots at a high percentage!
Who the hell are our shooters?

Chol is supposed to be the best shooter during practice but doesn't play.Long scoring droughts are happening too often.

I am starting to think there is no path without a healthy Mag playing 26 MPG

Chol makes Gavin look like Caleb on D
