119 is outstanding. Less TOs and 17 for 18 FTs really help and we were outstanding from 3 yesterday. We still need to be more efficient shooting 2 pt FG.Few things after a rewatch.
1. Can we stop planning out the Arch Madness run? We've won four conference games this season and just talked about how gassed we were against Bradley in one game and now we are saying we could win four times in four days. Realism is a good thing this year.
2. The biggest thing I've liked about what Pedon has done this year is he isn't afraid to change things. He'll play Stadelman. He'll play Kotov. He is okay with admitting that he doesn't have the answers. So many coaches are so strict in their view of things. Take a look at the other side - Mullins has had the exact same offense for four years now and never, ever changes it. Could be the reason he's exactly .500 in the Valley in his career.
3. Losing Darius Burford was a blessing in disguise that I hope shows up on film to the coaches because we stopped running ball screen offense. With DB in the lineup, we're so dribble-heavy. You can get back to some of it with the right personnel and in moments of games, but look at these numbers and tell me the offense isn't better without dribbling and in more of a traditional motion. A necessary improvement and change to close the year to sustain the offense we saw yesterday.
SIU: 119.9 offensive efficiency, 13 assists on 22 FG, 13 turnovers.
Bradley: 97.4 offensive efficiency, 9 assists on 25 FG, 24 turnovers.
Valpo: 84.3 offensive efficiency, 6 assists on 19 FG, 15 turnovers.
UNI: 96.2 offensive efficiency, 6 assists on 23 FG. 13 turnovers.
We need to be in the 100 to 105 range consistently and we will be a much better team.
