Offense continues to roll along.  MU is again looking strong at protecting the ball, and that offensive eFG% is sick.  1H defensive eFG% was crap, but it got much better in the 2H.

Net Points Contributions

Positive
Vander +9.0
DJO +7.9 (close on pts, more rbs, less to's)
Otule +3.8
Mayo +1.8
Jamail +0.9

Negative
Junior -0.5
Jae -1.0
TFON -1.6
JWilson -2.4
DWilson -4.8

I was a little surprised that DJO was so close to Vander.  Would have thought the spacing would be larger.  Nice performance by Otule.  Jae surprised me a bit.  He gets dinged a bit for the two TO's and not taking many FTs.

TFON=Davante?

TFON= The Freak Of Nature?

Henry, are there goals or baselines for eFG%? What is the number where we say That was great, or good, or lousy defense? Can one look at certain stats and predict the score? What are some glaring exceptions>

[Henry Sugar]

Yeah, TFON is a name that Tim and I are putting on Gardner.  It's an abbreviation for The Force of Nature.  As in... Gardner is an Unstoppable Force of Nature. 

Here are the ranges from last year on eFG%.

#1 - 42%
#50 - 46%
#100 - 47.5%
#150 - 49%
