We actually outshot Nova in attempts and % from the line. But I would love to see our % on 1 and 1 attempts. Maybe it is me, but We seem to struggle w the front end a lot. I know last night we missed 2 ( Young and Bullock) in the first half. It would almost make sense statistically that if you missed the front end that you be credited w 2 misses. some of you may have seen the end of Kansas/ Ok. Kansas looked to be opening up a lead late when OK went to the "hack a Shaq" against the Kansas center whose % was below 50%. They did it 3 or 4 times, the kid went 1-7 and several 1 and 1 attempts and OK came back and won. Self seemed stubborn in not pulling the kid till they lost the lead and ultimately the game.
Same game and they talked about Young and his shooting versus trying to set up teammates. Last week I heard an announcer talking about assists and how a PG on a bad team gets penalized. If you have a 2 on 1 and the PG passes off and a basket is scored he gets an assist. If he passes off and the guy gets fouled he does not get an assist and if the guy misses a layup he gets no assist. So a PG on good shooting team ( i.e Nova) assist may be inflated compared to a PG on a lousy team.
