DePaul Tempo-Free Box Score & Analysis



Quick Note on the Data Source: I typically use the opponent's play-by-play feed as an input, but both DePaul and Georgetown did not publish play-by-play data (Georgetown hasn't all year) and so I tried to work with what ESPN put together. I don't think it's too far off except for the assist rate and so I didn't include that in the table.

  • DePaul Heatmap
  • The result of this game was closer than most Georgetown fans would have liked primarily because Georgetown had fewer scoring opportunities on offense as a result of turnovers and poor offensive rebounding. In the first half, Georgetown turned the ball over at its 2nd highest rate for any half this season, but then took much better care of the ball in the second half and so this feels like an outlier more than a cause for concern.
  • According to the official box score, Georgetown only recorded two offensive rebounds the entire game (the play-by-play credits them with 3). This is the worst performance on the offensive boards for the team this season, but again, its so much of an outlier that I wouldn't read too much into it.
  • Outside of those two fields, Georgetown had an average day on offense, but the defense had one of its better performances of the year by holding DePaul to a 36.6% eFG% and blocking 11.1% of their shot attempts. The defense excelled in limiting quality shot attempts for DePaul all night (16.1% of DePaul's shots were at the rim compared to 26.3% for Georgetown).
  • Georgetown also did an excellent job forcing DePaul into turnovers and then creating quality scoring opportunities on offense. It'll be interesting to see if JTIII continues to press throughout the Big East season

Next up is St. John's. They block a lot of shots, so adjust expectations accordingly.

Adjusted 3-pt Makes

This doesn't account for shot selection, but can help to calm down everyone's emotional swings by trying to adjust for volatility. A positive number indicates that the expected points were greater than the realized points. For players w/ 25+ attempts, shooting percentages are from this season and if not shooting percentages for each player are from the 2012-2013 season when available. Otherwise, the team's 3-pt percentage for the 2013-2014 season is used in the calculation for each player.

DEPAUL +4.8 / GTOWN +0.3 / DEPAUL + 4.5

Stay Casual, my friends.
