Will we break 80 points per game?
We were at 74.3 ppg last year. With increased pace and better scoring options in the lineup can we break 80?

Our 2nd teamers and scrubs will score more late in games which will put us over 80.

I think 77-78 seems about right. An additional 3-4 points per game seems reasonable to me. I'll gladly be wrong through. 😄

If we can shave another 3 seconds off the time it takes to shoot (which I think is doable)...I could see another 6 points or so coming from that. That might be just the difference of walking up the court vs pushing a little and getting out on more fast breaks and pressing. I wonder what the average time Troy took to get across half court and set up the offense? |

Good point Waite. I think our turnovers will go up a tick with Caupain out. If we turn the ball over 2 more times per game we will have to add about 8 possessions to get to 80.

Don't forget that I believe Justin Jenifer was either just ahead or just behind Troy in assist to turnover ratio. I don't know about Cane's ability to not turn the ball over but I feel very comfortable with JJ at the point taking care of the ball.

2 reasons we will average above 80
1) Our pace will be quicker (more pressing & shorter shot clocks) Mick stated this repeatedly last year that we played slower because of our guards. Cumberland, Broome & Jennifer pushing the pace will be far quicker than the pace of guard play last year. 2) Pace of our opponents will be quicker due to more full court pressure from our end. Another factor is college basketball as a hole is trending to a much faster paced game. Will not be surprised if we average in the 85ppg range. |
