Interesting MVC metrics

IMO, Mock is not a player that scores very well when he has to create his own shot. When he scores well, it is a play created by someone else (e.g: pick & roll, alley oop, catch & dunk, offensive rebs).

So maybe some offensive sets should be created for that....

Novel idea, I realize.

Maybe having the guy with one of the best offensive effency ratings in the league over the last decade, the second best shooting % (only behind an All American/league POY), etc... take more shots would be great. Rather than a guy with the 8th best shooting % on the team hoisting more than 30% of your teams shots and over 300 more than your next highest


Then again, what would UNI or WSU fans (who say the same thing) know about a winning team?

UE led the MVC in scoring and FG%, why would anyone think there is a problem with their offense?

Evansville's offensive efficiency was 114th per KenPom.

Fourth in the Valley, and barely ahead of Drake and Loyola.

Ever think that opposing teams focus so much on DJ / Colt / Jason Holsinger / Shy Ely etc that it increases the FG % of the other players by creating good looks for them. Not saying Marty is a genius but it is his team and his offense of choice.

I don't agree with that. True like a lot of big men Mock isn't a great ball handler and doesn't create off the dribble like a Tuttle. But when he gets the ball on the low block in a 1:1 situation I think he scores very well with some pretty nice post moves.

I know I thought that. I focused on it so much that I almost didn't notice that this genius gameplan led to a 57-87 record in the league over the last 8 seasons with a best finish of a 5-way tie for 3rd.

I think at this point it's been pretty well proven that the system works. It just works in a slightly less than 50% kind of way, against marginal competition.

I've got a theory I'm going to test later this week.

Evansville's best games/wins are when there is the most diverse scoring.

Trust me, UE fans would love to see 4-5 players average double figures.
A couple points:
Gibson & Moore shoot a high fg%, but rarely take shots outside of the 3' circle.

Wing had a high fg%, but rarely took shots (frustrating for UE fans) outside of the lane.

A couple times every game, DJ received passes with less than 5 seconds on the shot clock & not anywhere near a 'scoring position.' Kind of hurts efficiency rating.

I think their success will come from improvements on the defensive end.

Just opinions...not being "pissy."
