Title: Low shooting percentages...are they bad?
Post by: ksupamplemousse on November 14, 2019, 07:18:20 AM
So the basket cats are 1/32 from behind the arc in the first half of our games so far this year. Is that bad? I mean, we keep winning, but it seems bad. Should our freshmen bigs be shooting it more? They seem to have nice touch from the outside, and our guards aren't shooting worth a crap. What's the answer, dudes?

Small sample sizes, regression to the mean, etc.

Regression to the mean implies that the 'Cats are going to shoot lights-out at some point to offset this crappy 1 for 32 start.

Not really. It means that the 1-32 is an outlier, and in future samples of 32 attempts, we can expect them to shoot closer to the percentage that reflects their true talent. It is not implicit that a positive outlier to offset the negative outlier will happen over the course of a relatively small set of samples.

There will be games they shoot 65% we just hope it is when we play KU.  :ksu:

These dudes can't shoot. Luckily the extended three point lines opens up driving lanes and they're still figuring this out. It's why they have looked differently each half, they get the halftime adjustment to attack those lanes off of the dribble.

oscar “the adjuster” weber has long been feared by rival coaches for his mastery of adjustments
these stats just prove how deadly the adjuster can be

Need some "The Adjuster" memes. "Just when you thought he couldn't adjust any further...he did." *deal with it shades*

Part of me is hoping that Sean Williams is able to come back and help with our lack of shooting, but I think all of me knows that he wouldn't actually help. He may actually be the lead Clankmigo.

I tried to make a bunch of the adjuster memes but the adjuster broke through the computer and adjusted all of them

Why do we always seem to suck at shooting? Is that the trade off for guys who can play defense?
Title: Re: Low shooting percentages...are they bad?
Post by: MakeItRain on November 18, 2019, 01:34:17 PM
Kinda a trade off for playing the pace that we do, it emphasizes running really good offensive sets and we don't do that. There was a really good article in the athletic that had video of our pathetic offense in the first half, a lot of guard to guard passing with no effort made on away from the ball movement.

We start slow and play down to our competition. The UNLV and North Dakota State games are good wins, but watching us play isn't pretty, that's probably why, bud. :cheers:

I haven't really watched much but it seems like we should consider running offense at a different pace.

i only saw the end of UNLV live and watched the highlights on YouTube but it looked liked we did press some in the 2nd half.  We have (for the oscar era) lots of long and athletic guys so I would love to see at least as a change up.

yep and possibly recruit players who are already pretty good at shooting. what do I know though

oscar indicated before the season started that we would, but here we are, one of the most deliberate teams in America. We even walk it up when we play small, even with two PGs on the floor, together.

Pretty sure every college coach in history has said they'll play fast and don't. I think it's usually just when they're hired though

Given all of the minutes we lost at the guard position, I kinda thought Williams would have had a bigger impact this year than he's actually had.
Title: Re: Low shooting percentages...are they bad?
Post by: EMAWzifried on December 12, 2019, 12:25:53 PM
SNW and Oscar were clearly on the outs. Oscar doesn't even try with behavioral problems anymore. We've recruited over Williams for the future so his departure won't hurt like his refusal to work with Bullnuts has.

I don't expect Sneed to hit like that every game, but it would be nice if he shows up for challenging teams and not disappear like he did against Pitt and Marquette.
