[QUOTE="ramblinwreck1378, post: 377091, member: 1108"] Sure: WOF outnumbered us in FGA 59-42. They only shot 35% from the field, which is a good defensive stat for us, but volume shooting pays off sometimes. The reason they were able to take [U][B]17[/B][/U] more shots than us was because of two primary reasons: rebounding and turnovers. Wofford had 12 offensive rebounds, which lead to 12 second chance opportunities (none bigger than the offensive rebound in the corner at the end of the game). While these did not lead to many points (only 5 second chance points) it limited the number of possessions that we were able to have - several times they got the offensive board and reset the offense (i.e. an additional 20 seconds off the clock). Second, they didn't waste their possessions with turnovers - only had 6 last night compared to our 16 (AD had 4 turnovers in 18 min - unacceptable). Think about that - we forfeited a shot 16 times down the floor. That's almost your FGA discrepancy right there, even with the offensive boards given up. By the way, they had 17 points off of our 16 turnovers. If we cut both of those numbers in half we win the game easily. We shot 57% from the floor - the issue was not our shooting (and certainly not [U][B]one[/B][/U] kid that shot the lights out), but us getting up enough shots. [/QUOTE]
