OU vs. Louisiana-Monroe Statistical Plus/Minus
OU did not play particularly well this game--the winning margin was just 11 points against a fairly weak opponent. Who played well? This game, Crocker and Willie led the way for OU, but two players from LA-Monroe actually had the best games!

Crocker and Warren played well. Crocker played a clean, efficient game: no turnovers, no fouls, 13 points on 6 shots, 3 offensive rebounds, and 1 steal. Warren got 24 points on just 12 shots, but had only 2 rebounds and had 4 turnovers to balance his play out a bit. Ryan Wright played a good, solid game--making a few shots, getting a few rebounds, making a block. Pledger again played solidly, scoring 8 points, grabbing an offensive rebound and getting a steal in just 16 minutes. The rest of the team played mediocre at best--Gallon got rebounds, but 9 of them were defensive rebounds which are a lot easier to come by. Fitzgerald didn't do a whole lot well--no points or rebounds; just a block.
On the other side, Tony Hooper played an excellent game against superior opposition. Seventeen points on 13 shots; 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 turnovers (but 2 steals). Forbes had an efficient game as well, scoring nicely and playing well on the defensive end (3 steals in only 23 minutes!)
All in all, this was a weak outing for OU. The post men failed to do well; the guards again had to carry the team. At least Crocker stepped up and played a clean, senior-like game.

Statistical Plus/Minus (SPM) is a method of estimating each player's impact from the box score statistics. SPM is listed in points above the average player playing per 40 minutes--so if that player was replaced by an average player for 40 minutes, SPM is the difference in the final margin. The total of all player's contributions will sum to the actual scoring margin (each team's total will equal half of the overall margin). The original method was outlined by Dan Rosenbaum at 82games.com; recently additional factors were added by Neil Paine at Basketball-Reference.com. I previously compiled the complete 2008-2009 NCAA numbers on this forum.
