Thanks that’s some numbers, but knowing th numbers for the whole game often

can be different. I would hope they are measuring for the whole game and giving the numbers to the players, so they can learn from them. If they aren’t doing it, put a trained student or walk on, on it. Three categories, definitely open, definitely not open, covered closely but open. By the way, you can do the same with turnovers, what many don’t realize is turnovers are often caused by players not going to the open passing lane. Just like a QB needs open receivers to complete passes. Many emphasize the passer when he only had bad options due to receivers not getting open, so they force it because it’s the best option they have. ** Edited by Stech at 1/30/2024, 1:21:51 PM

Odd that the two games with the least TOs were Ls

Not that odd.

I feel like the Duke guards were able to turn the corner on our defenders
HokieObsession 01/30/24 11:34 AM ET
Both 5*s instead of 3. I like our guards but those players were rated that

VT was 6-for-22 last night from 3...

Hmmmm, I think I see a cause & effect here ........**

Cattoor said it was Duke's D that made it tough for VT on offense.
OrlandoHokie 01/30/24 12:00 PM ET
and yet Cattoor scored 15 on 63% shooting (50% from 3pt)
ShockWaveVT 01/31/24 01:06 AM ET
Cattoor's basketball IQ is off the charts. **

I thought Duke was very good last night.

It is UNC week. They decided to ramp it up and 25 and 3 are back.**
OrlandoHokie 01/30/24 04:38 PM ET
Duke did a great job defensively...
GCHokie34 01/30/24 12:08 PM ET
Interesting, I would love to know how many were opened versus covered shots
Stech 01/30/24 10:18 AM ET
Based purely on my observation (and memory)

Good question. Seemed most of Pedulla's shots were covered.**
YBYSAIAHokie 01/30/24 10:53 AM ET
He had a couple “open” ones he took from deeper
hokiepro 01/30/24 11:08 AM ET
It's deceiving. Even if he makes 45% of his 3-pointers,
YBYSAIAHokie 01/30/24 02:03 PM ET
Which is Duke's good D pushing him further out, reducing the probability
hokienole 01/30/24 12:13 PM ET
Difference is he made those vs Iowa St and Clemson **
hokiepro 01/30/24 12:19 PM ET
Sure, but I'm talking about reduced probabilities. Not deterministic
hokienole 01/30/24 12:21 PM ET
Certainly the further you push a shooter out beyond the 3 point line
Pride_and_Joy 01/30/24 04:10 PM ET
they just did not fall
VTtwins 01/30/24 10:26 AM ET
Thanks, but numbers for a whole game are much better than measuring a few
