Title: Always close (Baylor adv stats part 2)
Post by: kso_FAN on February 18, 2012, 04:28:42 PM
1st   Pace   PPP   eFG%   TO%   OR%   FTR
KSU   33   0.98   57.4%   27.6%   30.8%   11.1%
Opp   33   0.86   37.9%   33.7%   50.0%   20.7%

2nd   Pace   PPP   eFG%   TO%   OR%   FTR
KSU   29   0.86   42.9%   20.6%   31.3%   10.7%
Opp   29   0.96   47.8%   24.0%   31.3%   34.8%

Total   Pace   PPP   eFG%   TO%   OR%   FTR
KSU   62   0.92   50.0%   24.1%   31.0%   10.9%
Opp   62   0.90   42.3%   28.9%   41.2%   26.9%

Sometimes you have to win unconventionally for the team you have, and this game was certainly that.

Out o-boarded by 10%. FTR of only 11% and BU was 16% better. But the 40 minutes of distress defense worked as K-State forced TOs and outshot the Bears. Neither team played a half of basketball at over 1.0 points per possession and a pace of only 62 possessions, great job of forcing Baylor into a grinder.

A much needed win for EMAW.

7 of our last 9 opponents have been held to .95 points per possession or less.

We were bad early.  First 14 minutes ----  
22 poss and 9 TOs and only 11 pts

Finished the half =
11 poss  9FG (3 3pt)  21 points  0 TOs


So in the last 26 minutes ..............
we had a 1.15 PPP (46 pts on 40 poss)
and had only 5 TOs in 39 poss (til Angel traveled on our last poss)


And on Defense =
Baylor's last 43 poss =
0.88 PPP (38 pts)
12-35 FG
13 TOs
Love it  :love:

80% vs Tech. This was the first Big 12 game we've won with a FTR lower than 35%. It was also the lowest FTR of any game in the Frank Martin era.

Stattards need to come up with a way to quantify STOPPING THE DAMN BALL.  We kept Pierre in check and gave ourselves a chance in the end.  Its really not that hard to understand.

Points per possession is the best measure in basketball. If you don't stop the ball this number will probably be bad. This isn't hard.

Why don't you just wait till the game is over and look at the scoreboard, alot of leagues settle it that way.

LOL, you're approaching Kim Carnes/KSU176/bigwillie20 levels in the horrible poster category.

I tweeted this earlier. But rewatching the game the turning point was Angel missing, tied it up with a big, oop'd to JO & 1, and fouled out Jones all on one trip. #Priceless

I assume a lot of Frank's Baylor games are near the bottom of that list?

one thing that was interesting was that I think this was the tightest frank has ever been with his bench. Only gip got double digit minutes off the bench, and all the starters but JO played 35+.

One of the major purposes of BBSing about the games is discussion with others that share your fanaticism about your team. Talking about strengths and weaknesses and then defending or extrapolating on those points with rational discussion makes it better. Being able to discuss with valid advanced statistical metrics is one of the things I and many other posters here like as well. It doesn't sound much fun to come on and say "yeah, the scoreboard says we won." if you don't care to join don't respond with meaningless comments or pick another message board, again this isn't hard.

_fan against a long team like Baylor doesn't that hurt tays style of play? Angel is an exception. He's more versatile. But Tay at the 2 with his size doesn't make sense vs baylor.

there are so many injuries that part of that may not be by choice.  but certainly, southie, irving and diaz played less than normal.  in chat there were comments about sick players, was anyone reported as sick in the media?

He played an average of 20+ minutes for 3 games before the KU game. Just because a freshmen doesn't play many minutes in games against top 10 opponents doesn't mean he's on his way out the door. Don't be so volatile.

it's mind blowing in conf.  27% from the field, 28% from 3.  a pedestrian 1.5 A/T.  I've never seen a player make me want clent stewart.

I can understand minutes being sparse if practice was bad but no PT at all?  Against the longest team in the league?  Odd to me.  Hey, it's a  "W" so all good in da hood Frank!  :driving:

LOL, lighten up, just making fun of the fact that you said points per poss.  was best measure in basketball, just seems to me to not be that different than the scoreboard.  Statistics are fine but the reason why the numbers are what they are is much more interesting to me.  Well, that and reading Michigancats posts because he knows alot, and he's kinda mean in a super edgey kinda way.

Gotcha. To me scoreboard just tells me a score, it's not until I see PPP that I can really tell how well or poorly we played on both sides of the ball. Then other stats like the 4 factors tell me why they are what they are along with seeing the game played out. Lots of times what you think you see while watching just isn't accurate.
