Re: GDT: SDSU vs. FGCU
What's weird is we gave Stanford,our toughest opponent,less TO's and didn't let them get as many steals as we did the other two games we supposedly matched up with better.We had 26 to's and lost the ball on steals 15 times to FGCU.Stanford numbers,23 TO's AND 14 steals lost.TCU ,24 TO's and 19 steals lost.Hard to keep up when your losing the ball all the time.No wonder we got so far behind.Our team worked hard for the TCU win though,despite TO's and ball possessions stolen.
Just for fun, i discounted the turnover margin,so TO's were dead even,took our combined TO'S and steals we would get back (the margin only,theirs minus ours) times .4 (40%) to figure how many possessions we would score on shooting 40% (what we were shooting)( and multiplied x 2 pt shots)added this to our score for the actual game scores for the Stanford and FGCU games respectively.Did this for the Stanford and FGCU games.We would have lost to Stanford by 5 Pts and FGCU by 2 pts.I realize you can't figure this way,but it does show how much TO's make a difference in a game.This also doesn't take into account we made the TO's because we couldn't get the ball past their tough defense,fouls not called(called a steal instead,you know ,hack arms or hands),luck of the bounce, and the heart ,desire, effort ,etc....and other intangibles.I threw out TCU because both teams shot horribly and we won that one anyway.I was bored....sorry.
