Well it is manhood time. I think the marquee match up is Wade against Romello White who we recruited. I hope Brown can stymie their one stud guard. Some better bench play will be needed than last night.Team landed in Vegas this evening. Probs jetlagged in Oscar's world

“Honestly, if I were just a casual fan in Las Vegas, this is a game that I personally would buy a ticket for,” Northern Arizona coach Jack Murphy said of the Kansas State contest.
Along with UC Irvine coach Russell Turner, Murphy has played both the Sun Devils and Wildcats this season.
“Both teams, for the most part, are led by their guards," Murphy continued, "and I think it’s very intriguing to see what Holder and Shannon Evans and the ASU guards can do against the really stout defensive guards of K-State. It’s a really good matchup.”
“Arizona State played at a really great level against us, and we weren’t able to really make it that much of a game,” Turner said. “We did come back in the second half, but I don’t think we ever threatened them, and that was a credit to their senior guards. But I think that will be hard for them to replicate against Kansas State because Kansas State is excellent defensively.”
Are the Sun Devils legit NCAA Tournament contenders? They look the part. Senior guard Tra Holder – the Pac-12 Player of the Week – has been outstanding. Senior guard Shannon Evans has been equal parts play-maker and scorer. And redshirt-freshman forward Romello White has been as advertised, strong in the post.

ASU has some shitty uniforms. That yellow stripe is brutal.
It's pretty crazy that Frank-era EMAW showed what the perfect hoops uniform should look like and uniform makers continue to make the opposite of those.

Offense rebounds killed us. Also, it pissed me off when oscar calls timeouts when we grab momentum.I thought maybe he did it to bring Wade and Sneed back in, but no he was "coaching."
Post by: Lucas Scoopsalot on November 23, 2017, 08:36:36 PM
I recall several such timeouts last year, one specifically in the Baylor game that completely swing momentum back to the other team.Offense rebounds killed us.

FTs were obviously the difference, and you just don’t know how the refs are going to call most of the inside stuff. Obviously when we were playing puds the calls went in our favor.

AsU picked 7th in Pac 12, nothing special. Attempting 32 three's (made 15) direct result was nothing in paint and no free throws. Typical Oscar loss
Offense was not the problem.

When you allow 18 2nd Chance pts and grab only 7 Defensive Rebounds (what we did after Halftime), it's a huge recepie for disaster. Combine that with our fouls, refs calling tight game, and their 18-31 FT shooing in the 2nd....and you have a very poor Defensive statsheet
Post by: MakeItRain on November 23, 2017, 09:51:27 PM
refs were crap...worst one was the wainwright blockout foul...but this game also shows that we have nothing close to Westicles on defense...
Man, this is absolutely perfect.

Wade is still soft. Won't drive in critical situation. Had an opening to drive the lane but passed back to Brown.
They gave him the ball at 91-90 and was no threat to score, didn't even try, that's inexcusable.

That's been his game since day 1. I wish we had a coach to get him aggressive. So much wasted potential there.So much for the great defense.

I corrected the individual stats above. Wade's involvement was poor. He should never be under 10 points per 100 possessions he plays.
With out the foul trouble he is flirting with a triple double. Dean and Sneed need to stay on the court for defense and rebounding.
I think we will be fine, defense will get cleaner specially the benches D. The issue is the margin for error with our schedule is so small.
Post by: cat97 on November 23, 2017, 10:13:33 PM
Rebounding and fouls in the second half.
And the foul trouble on Wade, Sneed and Mawien. Mawien fouled out in 14 minutes and he was out most effective inside player tonight. Sallah and Stockard were no match for ASU's big men.

Never mind. I found the definition. I think we had our work cut out for us to win this game since so many of the fouls came on us trying to get rebound position. I quess we're slow learners.
"FTr = (FTA / FGA). Free throw rate is the ratio of free throws attempted per field goal attempted. It's useful to assess where the bulk of a player's shots are coming from -- low ratios usually indicate a lot of jump shots (fouls are less prevalent the further away from the basket you get), while high rates are the province of inside players who often take strong shots in traffic down low.

as far as % of the fg attempts, 3 pointers are making up 40% of the attempts, vs 36% last year and 31% 2 years ago. in hoiberg's last year, 37% of their shots were 3's (making them at 36%). golden state 37%, houston 53% :surprised:, spurs 29%, cavs 37%, okc 36%.
oscar weber is keeping up with the times. if we can keep this up or at least shoot 37% at a high volume, good things will happen
