Tough loss for the Hoosiers. It was good seeing them come back in the second half, something this team wouldn't have done the last two years. Hopefully CTC can get the players together and get up for Saturday's game before they head to Kentucky.
Quick Note on Analysis
Since this is our first loss of the year, obviously many players will be in the red. This will look bad compared to the game where we win. The key thing to note is the overall for the year of each player, in addition to how low their numbers were. As we dig into the numbers a little deeper you can see what I'm talking about.
Game Stats for Boston College Game
Things of note:
1. Obviously the majority of our players are in red, but overall it doesn't turn out as ugly as I had imagined it would.
2. We lost by 12, so it's good to see that our players aren't worse than our final loss number.
3. Matt Roth had himself a great 3 minutes!
4. Solid effort by Elston in his 11 minutes to stay positive.
5. I have officially removed GMM from all sheets...
Overall through 7 Games
Even though Elston and Bobby were positive this game, it still lowered their Pts/Min for the year.
Same cannot be said for Roth as he jumped from -1 last week to +6 for the season.
Best/Worst Lineups of the Night
Notice the 3 staples of our best lineups of the night: Hulls,Creek and Watford. Unfortunately those three were also a part of our horrendous start.
We officially have a new top lineup (thanks to that -8 performance by the starters). What sticks out to you about that lineup? DEFENSE.
Lineups of the Game
This is a new feature I'm trying out. I think it give a good overall picture of the night.
As you can see, I doubt we will win many games when the majority of CTC's lineups he puts out there are negative. Let me know in the comments if you like this part, and I'll keep doing it.
Trend Analysis (3 Games)
Before any of you smart guys out there point this out to me, I goofed and didn't change the chart title to 3 instead of 5. When I was displaying 5 games it was too cluttered with our massive drop in numbers for the BC Game.
All Lineups for the Game
That's all I have for now. Overall the stats weren't as bad as I was originally predicting they would be.
