Salient points:
- This was the 2nd fastest paced game this season, behind only the Radford massacre. Seton Hall likes a 72-possession pace, so credit Coach Gonzalez for using the press to impose the fast pace.
- Along with the press, Seton Hall averages a steal every 5th Hoya possession, which was the worst performance to date for Georgetown, besting Jacksonville(!). That 38% turnover rate in the 1st half was the main thing keeping SHU in the game, although here a number of the turnovers may have been self-inflicted (note the disparity between TO Rate and Steal Rate).
- On the other hand, Georgetown was able to completely control the glass on both ends of the court, just as they did last season. The Hoyas were able to gather half of all of their own missed shots while preventing Seton Hall from getting 1 in 7 of theirs. That was the best (worst?) opponents OR % in the last 2 seasons.
- In spite of the one-sided rebounding, the Pirates actually shot a higher percentage on 2FG in the 2nd half than Georgetown. That 2FG% in the 2nd half was the highest allowed in a half this year, ahead of the 2nd half against UConn. I wonder if this might be a conscious decision by JTIII, trading blocked shots and intimidation for rebounding. I suppose I could check the numbers for a correlation, but that will have to wait for another day.
- The improved FT shooting continues, with another nice effort yesterday.
One other note: I couldn't help noticing the raging Jon Wallace debate on the post-game thread on Hoyatalk. One of the more enlightened participants actually invoked +/- stats as a means of defending Wallace (edited: and another!), but I would recommend that +/- be used with caution, as it can be easily maniputed by game usage. That is, since Wallace and Jeremiah Rivers often participate in offense/defense substitutions late in games, Wallace can have his +/- numbers inflated while Rivers is penalized.
HoyaChris here - I don't believe that Seton Hall's high tow point percentage was the function of a constant trade-off for rebounding but was rather the result of two factors
ReplyDelete1.) steals that allowed the hall to score without our half court defense being set and:
2.) the foul trouble on our guards which allowed for an awful lot of unimpeded penetration.
I didn't see the game, so I'll have to defer to you on this one.
ReplyDeleteThe steal rate for SHU was about equal in both halves, so I'm not sure why their 2FG% went up so dramatically in the 2nd half, but it may have been your 2nd point, in conjunction with your 1st, that made the difference.
HoyaChris Here -
ReplyDeleteThe steals in the first half were primarily while we were in our half court offense and did not really give them open fast break opportunities.
the second half steals were off of the press and led to many freebie baskets.
