OU vs. Nicholls St. Statistical Plus/Minus
OU finally turned in a good half. It has been a while! A new guy stepped up to take up some slack--Fitzgerald. And Cade Davis played a brilliant game to take up WW's slack, with no major mistakes.

OU Statistical +/-
Nicholls St. Statistical +/-
The best player on the court was Cade Davis. (Did anyone expect to say that during Cade's time at OU?) He scored an efficient 18 points, got a few rebounds, handed out 2 dimes, and grabbed 4 steals--all without a turnover and with only 1 foul.
Fred Hunter played valiantly for Nicholls St.; he was the second-best player on the court. 14 points, 5 ORB's, 3 AST, 1 BLK, 2 STL's. That was a good game. Bose also had a good game; the rest of the team was pretty weak.
OU played 6 players this game; TMG had his usual turnover-prone game. At least he got a couple of steals this game.... Crocker played like a leader; another solid game from him. Fitzgerald! 10 efficient points, 3 ORB's (as many as Tiny), 1 assist, 1 block, and 1 steal. Pretty good in 20 minutes!
Pledger wasn't quite as good as past games (he didn't grab many RB's this game), but he was still a positive impact. Tiny played okay....
This was a respectable result against a very, very bad team. Nicholls St. is #295 so far in the KenPom Ratings. OU is #152, which I think accurately reflects their play so far. OU has proven they can play offense; they are #24 in the nation in that category. Last year OU was #6 on offense and #36 on defense. OU's defense this year stinks--#306. They just gave up 1.00 points per possession to Nicholls St., one of the worst offenses in the NCAA. Not good.

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.
