Scoring Droughts

I would definitely like to see more creativity in the half court offense. The book is out on stopping Mommy and we'll certainly see more long, athletic perimeter defenders the rest of the season, so need to get creative to get Mommy open looks, especially early in the game. Maybe even throw Mulder out there for a few minutes if only to throw hard picks on defenders guarding Momcilovich.... Anything to get Milan space.
Also, as much as I love JJ, he can't be allowed to bring the ball up the floor and definitely should not be allowed to do his 6 dribble, hero ball, iso from the 3 point line... that's almost a guaranteed turn over.
I'd love to see the guards initiate a high weave early in half-court possessions to get the defense moving, bring Buchanan out for picks, then feed JJ at the FT line and let him create from there with in 2-3 dribbles: takes to the rim, 15 footers if open, drive and dish, or quick feeds to guards back cutting to the rack. 4 dribbles or more is JJ's danger zone
Milan getting only 9 3pt attempts the last 2 games is unacceptable and puts a hard cap on our offensive output. Coaching staff needs to find ways to get him open early and at least 10 quality looks from 3 per game.
Interesting. As I suspected, we have the biggest disparity between home and away win % with Kansas not far behind. Hilton Magic > Phog Allen
BYU had two starters out for our game, and Dybantas was head and shoulders better that game that anyone we had on the court.
Kansas is Kansas they are always going to have good players, they beat Arizona at home without Peterson also.
We are also tied for the best home court advantage, so even being "good" on the road would put us high on the home/road disparity ranking. I see this as three tiers of road teams - UA/UH, TT/ISU/BYU, KU/BU. We're at the top of that second tier overall.
I didn't flag it, but I read on Twitter last night that ISU was on a very short list of 6-8 teams that have had 30+ 10+ point scoring runs. So maybe ISU has some scoring droughts, but they are causing their opponents to have droughts of their own and are often countering scoring droughts with scoring runs.
I don't think anyone is going to argue with that. Things are good and we are in great shape heading down the final stretch. We we all want to make it out of the round of 16 this year. To get that far, we may encounter a team that has our defense figured out or is challenging for defense because they are super athletic. To stay with that kind of team, we have to rely on scoring with them rather than stopping them. Have a drought against one of those teams and we could be in trouble.
Scoring drought anyone? Lol
"The Red Storm went the final 17:28 without making a field goal and scored their fewest amount of points since 2013. During that stretch, St. John's missed 24 consecutive field goals"

That has to be one of the craziest stats ever. That sounds like some sort of AAU state when one team is loaded with D1 talent and the other team has a bunch of kids that a dad put together a team for his son who sucked.
I need these charts explained like I'm 5 sometimes.
What is it saying about ISU for runs given up? Looks pretty average.
You got it. Average at allowing such streams. The best at going on such streaks.
I think you could say that among the top teams ISU is the streakiest.
