Eastern Washington Eagles at Minnesota Golden Gophers, Nov 26, 2008 7:30 PM CST
I'd be lying if I said I knew much of anything about Eastern Washington and I assume that you are in the same boat.
Here is a little snapshot of the EMU Eagles....
Record: 3-1
Wins over: Idaho, UC-Irvine, Texas-Arlington
Lost to: Illinois by 16
Players to watch...
| Pnts / Gm | Reb / Gm | ||
| Bobby Valentine | Junior, PG | 18 | 1.8 |
| Brandon Moore | Junior, C (6-9) | 13 | 7.5 |
| Milan Stanojevic | Senior, G | 9.3 | 2.5 |
Efficiency stats for both teams (brief explanation below)...
| EWU | Minn | |
| Off Efficiency | 101.1 | 101.3 |
| Def Efficiency | 99.7 | 92.8 |
| Eff Differential | 1.40 | 8.50 |
| eFG% | 49.8 | 50.0 |
| Off Reb % | 30.5 | 38.3 |
| Def Reb % | 27.4 | 35.5 |
| Steal % | 7.6 | 11.6 |
| Turnover % | 18.9 | 23.3 |
You will see a heavy dose of efficiency stats from me throughout the season as it is so much more accurate than your typical accumulation of box score numbers. A full explantion of the KenPom Efficiency stats can be found HERE, but I'll give you the dummy version.
Basically everything gets broken down to the possession level. Ken Pomery explains the formulas to get to that point, but it is important that everything get reduced to that level. A team like North Carolina will have a ton of possessions which leads to a lot of points scored per GAME. This will also lead to their opponent having a lot of possessions which leads to a lot of points give up per game. A team like Wisconsin will obviously have opposite results. But this means points per game or points allowed per game are misleading stats so everything is reduced to possessions. Like I said you can find more info on the site, this isn't a lesson in statistics, but a brief explanation of the stats I picked for team comparison...
- Off / Def Efficiency - average points scored / allowed in a game with 100 possessions
- Eff Differential - obviously score more than you allow, teams that are +2 or greater do well come NCAA time.
- eFG% - combo of regular FG% and thee point %, basically you get a little bump for made threes because they are worth a little bit more (looking for 51.5% or greater)
- Off Reb% - the % of time you rebound your own misses (strive for 35%)
- Def Reb% - the % of time you rebound your opponents misses
- Steal % - % of opponents possessions you steal
- Turnover % - obviously the amount of possessions you turn the ball over (should be sub 19%)
Numbers that should jump out for this game are the Gopher's turnover % which is really high (234th in the nation). This overall really doesn't concern me through just a handful of games, but it is worth keeping an eye on tonight. Rebounding looks good for the home team tonight and there really is no reason to think we have anything to worry about.
With our young and inexperienced team I cannot ever expect a blowout (although it is possible), but I'm pretty confident in a W tonight over the Eagles.
PreGame Meal:
Hoffarber to have a "bigger role"
Tubby wants them to play defense
From the Barn has some keys to the game

I feel like this is a team...
…we should blow out. But I thought we would win comfortably at CSU last weekend, too.
by rencito on Nov 26, 2008 6:00 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
It's early...
…. Other than teams that have been together for awhile, many, many teams are playing closer with teams they should beat easily. Take Purdue from last year. Very young team. They lost back to back to Wofford and Iowa State during the pre-conference slate. Young teams will be streaky, IMO, and play up and down to the competition.

I would just like to see them blow someone out for a change. There were definitely stretches during the CSU game where they were clicking and looked really good. I would like to see that more often. But I agree, they should get better as the year progresses.

Please help me...!!!
What do I do?
The DVR is currently recording two things, so I can’t watch the Gophers until 8:00. Both shows are the girl’s. Do I:
A). Stop one of them and pretend I don’t know anything about it?
B.) Wait it out and listen on the radio
C.) Wake her up while she is sleeping to ask her
D.) Wake her up while she is sleeping to watch the game in the bedroom

Iverson – great

do you think it is that bad?
I liked the trade at first—I realize I’m in the minority. I know Mayo puts up points…but what else does he do? I feel like he is one dimensional. I like that we got Miller out of the deal—but i’m being proved wrong so far this year

Those Hawkeye Fans Know how to party.....
A couple of University of Iowa fans took a break from Saturday’s game at the Metrodome against the University of Minnesota to have some illicit sex in a Dome restroom, police said.
The duo — a 38-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man from Carroll and Linden, Iowa, respectively — turned a handicapped toilet stall into their lovenest about 8:30 p.m., late in the Hawkeyes 55-0 trouncing of the Gophers.
A crowd of intoxicated fans gathered in the restroom to laugh and cheer the off-the-field action, until an Avalon Security guard tipped off University of Minnesota police to the ruckus.
Officers had to interrupt the intimate moment in order to cite the man and the woman with indecent conduct, a misdemeanor.
University of Minnesota Police Chief Greg Hestness said similar citations at the Metrodome or on campus usually involve public urination.

Iverson is a Player
PJS, caught the Purdue game last night in the Garden but just took a look at Iverson’s line, your blogging and an email I got from a smart dude who watched Minny game. Damn. Moves the ball, good footwork, scores. He could be your go to man in the post. Light years ahead of BJ Mullens at this point, which is most likely attributable to his lack of confidence not to mention Ohio State’s scheme. Good work.

Well, also consider that EWU had no one above 6'9 on the roster.
That said, he demonstrated a nice drop step, a nice baby hook, better than average passing abilty from the low post, passing ability from the high post. Tubby clearly ordered them to get the ball into the post early and often. Iverson seemed ready for the opportunity. He’s clearly more ready than RSIII at this point, glad to hear he might be ahead of Mullens.
