Comments:
  • The 69 possessions from tonight's game is quite a bit faster than last year's team average (62.1). A sign of things to come? Not so fast, my friend; last season's game against Jacksonville had a total of . . . 69 possessions.
  • Much like last year's game, the Hoyas jumped out to a comfortable 1st half lead with good offense and excellent defense. This time, the Dolphins actually out-played G'town in the 2nd half to keep the game close.
  • For all of the moaning about FT shooting in the 1st half (C. Wright shot 1-6 FTs during the first half), the team ended the game with a perfectly acceptable 73 %FT.
  • The OReb% allowed, especially in the 2nd half, was not good. Over the years, it is becoming apparent that JTIII is willing to give up offensive rebounds for the sake of keeping eFG% down. Unfortunately, J'ville shot better in the 2nd half while getting fully half of their own missed shots.
  • That 13.3% block rate is comparable to last year's average thanks to G. Monroe and J. Vaughn, but the big men will need to watch their fouls until H. Sims is able to play more minutes.

Comments
  • Most of the Hoyas had good to excellent offensive games. Exceptions were A. Freeman, who made only 1-10 shots from the field, and O. Wattad, who missed all five of his 3FGAs. I'll let N. Mescheriakov slide, as he only played seven offensive possessions.
  • A big question coming into this season was who would take over the possessions used by R. Hibbert, J. Wallace and P. Ewing? Freeman certainly took a healthy share today (15.7/57 = 27.5%), and Wattad wasn't bashful either. Too bad they weren't very efficient with their possessions.
  • There was much grumbling in the chat room about why Wattad was playing so many minutes (or about 30% of all possessions), but a couple of the lucky few who could actually watch the game pointed out that his defense looked good. The numbers bear this out, as he and Jessie Sapp had the strongest defensive numbers of those with >10 defensive possessions played. Unfortunately, his defense couldn't make up for his poor shooting. Have we found a drop-in replacement for J. Rivers?
  • The player of the game is . . . Jessie Sapp, who just nosed out G. Monroe, playing his first game. Let me take a moment to point out just how efficient Monroe was in his ~50 possessions played: 6-8 2FG, 2-3 FT, 2 OReb (only player with more than 1), 1 A, 3 Bl. He flirted with foul trouble most of the 2nd half, but this is to be expected for a freshman center. He looks very good after 1 game.
