We pushed the pace against SMU and you can go back and watch the film, we didn't really play stall ball much at all. And thats really all I care about. I want constant motion, and moving with purpose and momentum. I mean if you're going to point out our AAC offensive time of possession, then you have to also point out that our defensive time of possessions has skyrocketed to 19.1 seconds.

If we keep playing stingy defense and play offense like we have all year, Ill be happy. I think the pace were playing at now is just fine, right around the middle of the pack nationally.


The only way we ever get our overall tempo to be top 100 is if we do an all out press all game that is actually trying to generate TO's. Other than that., our defense is working great when we are forcing teams to use a lot of time to find an open look.
We can't allow the Temple and UCF type games on the road to be dictated by the opponent. We can't be a willing participant in that type of game. It's the only way we lose.

you know we actually had 70 possessions at temple last year. of course we still only scored 56 points in that one.

and maybe the review of the temple tape was an aha moment for mick. somebody told me mick talked about pace again last night and said if we're stuck in a rock fight like vs temple anybody can win that game.



lets hope he takes it to heart and lets these guys go.

So you can look at trends on the last 3 games to make a point but no one else can?


Also, Jacobs TO rate in conference play this year is about at the elite level it was for his entire freshman and sophomore seasons. Chances are he moves more toward a number like he has in AAC play. Historical data suggests that.

Evans protects the balll and does it at a high level. That’s a fact

Go back and watch how quickly temple defense got back.

I mean, what do you do ? Especially when shots aren’t falling.


Mick said on the radio that UCF presses so they can get their bigs down the floor.

We need to push the pace but it’s fsr easier to slow down a game then to speed it up

I get that it's harder but most teams manage to score more against Temple than we did. I'd guess they are pretty much all higher possession games too. It can be done. You just have to stay committed to it.

I don't think we should press UCF at all, at least to start the game. They'd be more than happy to take forever to get a shot off on every possession. Pressing would just play into that.

if his role had stayed the same and he wasn't being asked to take care of the ball more often i would assume his TOrate would go back down to what it has been for his career.


however that isn't the case, his role has been expanded and he has made some very poor decisions making the adjustment.


i dont think a player of his level should have a problem improving his decision making in those situations as we go forward.

Kenpom's TORate is expected to increase as time with the ball increases. It would be nice to have a measure of how often a player turns it over per amount of time with the ball, but TORate isn't that stat. It simply measures how many times a player commits a turnover compared to how often he shoots.

guys that just spot up shooters are going to have artificially lower rates (kenpom notes this).


its just too hard to be able to track how often a guy has the ball (time wise) vs how many times he turns it over.

percentage of possessions used on turnovers is still an important stat. makes me marvel at guys like jalen brunson.
