Providence

[TheLongHaul]

They pressed about the entire 2nd half!!

Youre are right. We crossed half court then they decided to send 3 guys out to trap and leave it 3 on 2 in the back court. Get real

ha ha ha. It was two players (not surprised you can't count) and it was because UC had two players in the area. Dixon cleared and his man stayed with SK to trap. He wasn't trapped by three players. There other guy was on the other side of the court guarding his man. Got to love how those refs allowed 14 seconds in the backcourt....Keep backpedaling.

At the 20 min Mark Providence was scoring 0.79 points per possession

at the final score, their whole game average was .973 http://www.scacchoops.com/ViewHDGame.asp?hSchedule=13172&bView=7&sInclude=doffeff

I dont have access to exactly how many more possessions were in the 2nd half than the first half (there almost definitely was due to end of game fouling/ being in scramble mode)

We'll just assume the same # for each half though and see what we get
.973-.79= .183
.183+.973= 1.156 ppp in the 2nd half

1st half UC allowed .79 points per possession
2nd half UC allowed 1.156 points per possession
(this isnt completely accurate due to differing #s of possessions in each half, but its close enough)

Basically the Defense was elite of all elite in the 1st half holding a team scoring 1.05 ppp to 0.79 2nd half, not so much.

exactly. Their first half defense was very good, but when Providence made their run the defense was not very good as evident by the higher ppp. Using the stat the Not Guilty did was meaningless. Some of the points were from bad turnovers, a few were from tough shots, and the rest were from poor defense.

My apologies

I forgot I had to break it down for you.

They did not all the sudden send 3 guys to half court once we crossed. They were still in their full court press. 2 guys were trapping, the other was taking away the EASY pass. It was this way most of the 2nd and we looked to keep passing it out by half court and not attack.

I am obviously not the only one who saw this, as the commentator mentioned it seconds after I. He even said they have to attack this press

It's pointless arguing with you if you think a team was still in it's full court press 14 seconds into the shot clock with every single player in the half court all the while every UC player was being guarded by a man. The trap only came when SK dribbled back to mid court and Dixon started towards the 3 point line. Dixon's man left him to trap SK. The video couldn't be any clearer. But keep telling yourself whatever makes you feel better.
