AJ needs to drink about 5 Red Bulls before each game and have coach tell him that the entire front line of the opposing team slept with his girl.<br /><br />I do not know if this is available, but I would like to see the point differential for each player's time on the floor for conference and non-conference. By that I mean the difference in Vandy's score and the opponents score for the time they are on the floor. I have seen this in some NBA box scores.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16705341383091151811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-31563559956340075972010-02-12T12:47:18.930-06:002010-02-12T12:47:18.930-06:00and the 'stache.

He becomes less aggressive against bigger, stronger opponents. His SEC stats for points per minute went down even though his points per attempt went up. Meaning, he just doesn't shoot as much in the SEC. He makes them when he shoots, obviously, so it is a mental thing - he plays tentative when he's decided he's up against the big boys. CKS needs to have a "Taylor Talk" with him and tell him to unleash the beast. Maybe we should give him a new nickname, like, The Tazmanian Devil.Drubarunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-77415790533847533052010-02-12T10:56:02.944-06:002010-02-12T10:56:02.944-06:00I like the stats.

Food for thought though, based on the numbers Beal shoots 62% when releasing the ball from regions inside the three point line. He would clearly lead the team in offensive efficency if he shot fewer threes right? Also it would be interesting to see stats that factor in good and bad fouls/ and or fouls that ended in three point plays. I have a feeling our guards would only be giving bad fouls considering I only ever feel like they foul in transition as somebody goes for an and 1. While I feel like Fez and sometime Steve both commit okay fouls in that they atleast foul hard and prevent layups when people get beat. Obviosuly Walker would bow this category out of teh water considering he only ever fouls people when he is tired and doesn't feel like running back or wants Kstall to sub him. I love walker but has anyone else ever noticed this?Colinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-52436856219399191312010-02-12T10:23:37.720-06:002010-02-12T10:23:37.720-06:00While it is good that aj gets to the free throw li...While it is good that aj gets to the free throw line I have two comments. First he never seems to get the And 1 shots. That to me is from is lack of finishing strength. Second and related aj seems content to be fouled. Its almost as if he is hoping the refs will bail him out by blowing their whistleDouglas Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239502832772753923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-36826237914878750842010-02-12T08:57:37.126-06:002010-02-12T08:57:37.126-06:00@Anonymous - Ken Pomeroy says on his Vanderbilt pa...@Anonymous - Ken Pomeroy says on his <a href="http://kenpom.com/team.php?team=Vanderbilt" rel="nofollow">Vanderbilt page</a> that AJO commits 4.8 fouls per 40 minutes and draws 8.0, so you're right.<br /><br />AJO does draw quite a few more fouls than he commits, which is a very good thing indeed, considering how well he shoots free throws.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536985576935414700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-13800511354283283042010-02-12T08:35:44.540-06:002010-02-12T08:35:44.540-06:00i want festus and steve t. to keep playing aggress...i want festus and steve t. to keep playing aggressive D. this season is the first time ever that i've heard announcers describe vanderbilt as "physical", which i love. considering the depth of our big men, i say hack away.chadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-90835595570781094062010-02-12T08:12:16.770-06:002010-02-12T08:12:16.770-06:00Really interesting post.

I don't think there's a way statistically, but I would be curious to know the difference between the number of fouls AJ commits and the number of fouls he draws from opponents. My guess is that even though he fouls a good bit, he is more effective at getting the other team to foul him, which has it's own advantages especially when you consider his 72% FT percentage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-39403591992987396442010-02-12T08:10:09.841-06:002010-02-12T08:10:09.841-06:00If you really want to geek out on stats, I'd g...If you really want to geek out on stats, I'd go to http://statsheet.com/mcb/teams/vanderbiltTom Mnoreply@blogger.com
