Wrapping up my eight part series on the basketball season by the numbers, I thought I'd provide a few appendices of data for the TKP crew to digest in this time of cordon sanitaire.
First things first, a full breakdown of minutes
| Player | NC Max | NC Min | NC Average | ACC Max | ACC Min | ACC Average | Season Max | Season Min | Season Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nolley | 37 | 18 | 28.2 | 44 | 16 | 31.3 | 44 | 16 | 30.3 |
| Bede | 38 | 19 | 28.0 | 48 | 15 | 30.6 | 48 | 15 | 29.7 |
| Horne | 33 | 15 | 24.8 | 43 | 18 | 29.7 | 43 | 15 | 28.0 |
| Radford | 34 | 10 | 22.1 | 50 | 12 | 28.6 | 50 | 10 | 26.3 |
| Cone | 25 | 6 | 13.8 | 36 | 5 | 20.8 | 36 | 5 | 18.4 |
| Wilkins | 25 | 7 | 16.4 | 24 | 6 | 13.4 | 25 | 6 | 14.4 |
| Cattoor | 31 | 0 | 21.5 | 27 | 8 | 18.7 | 31 | 0 | 19.7 |
| Alleyne | 36 | 21 | 28.5 | 37 | 15 | 24.7 | 37 | 15 | 26.0 |
| Ojiako | 21 | 4 | 13.5 | 23 | 0 | 8.4 | 23 | 0 | 10.1 |
| Johnson | 7 | 0 | 2.5 | 7 | 0 | 0.5 | 7 | 0 | 1.2 |
| Palmer | 6 | 0 | 0.7 | 2 | 0 | 0.1 | 6 | 0 | 0.3 |
Nolley, Bede, Horne, Radford, and Cone all saw their minutes go up in ACC play, with Cone getting the biggest bump at +7 mpg.
Those minutes had to come from somewhere (although 3/4ths of a game worth of OTs helped). Ojiako was the biggest loser, when it came to minutes, going -5.1 mpg from Non-Conf to ACC play.
Scoring-wise here's the data:
| Player | NC Max | NC Min | NC Average | ACC Max | ACC Min | ACC Average | Season Max | Season Min | Season Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nolley | 27 | 4 | 17.2 | 30 | 3 | 14.6 | 30 | 3 | 15.5 |
| Horne | 14 | 2 | 8.1 | 18 | 0 | 7.3 | 18 | 0 | 7.6 |
| Bede | 11 | 0 | 6.0 | 12 | 0 | 4.7 | 12 | 0 | 5.2 |
| Wilkins | 15 | 0 | 5.8 | 11 | 0 | 3.5 | 15 | 0 | 4.3 |
| Cattoor | 17 | 0 | 9.1 | 14 | 0 | 4.9 | 17 | 0 | 6.3 |
| Alleyne | 22 | 0 | 10.5 | 17 | 2 | 7.9 | 22 | 0 | 8.8 |
| Radford | 13 | 0 | 7.8 | 26 | 2 | 11.4 | 26 | 0 | 10.2 |
| Cone | 17 | 0 | 6.7 | 20 | 0 | 8.6 | 20 | 0 | 8.0 |
| Ojiako | 15 | 0 | 4.5 | 6 | 0 | 1.7 | 15 | 0 | 2.7 |
| Johnson | 0 | 0 | 0.0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
| Palmer | 2 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 | 2 | 0 | 0.1 |
There were a few things I noticed. Nolley was the only player to score in all 32 games...barely. Radford is an ACC-caliber player, getting almost 4 ppg more in ACC play than non-conference. Cone also improved by almost 2 ppg. Cattoor disappeared (-4.2 ppg) in conference. The three veterans who've seen ACC play all dropped in scoring; Horne by .8 ppg, Bede by 1.3 ppg, and Wilkins by 2.3 ppg.
Horne is not unique in that regard. All of our "bigs" went down in scoring when faced with ACC bigs. Ojiako lost 2.8 ppg and Nolley dropped 2.6 ppg.
Breaking things down by position groups, here are some charts.
Have fun dissecting this. Also, for those of you who's kids are now out until August/September, godspeed.
