Season Efficiency 2017-2018
I'm sorry I'm a little behind but this will be the thread for this season which is now upon us.
Had some computer issues but all is good now.
I'll start with tonight's game Missouri and work my way back to get caught up, even though the first 2 games shouldn't really count.
For good measure...basketball efficiency is (Pts+Rebs+Asts+Blks+Stls) - (Turnovers +(Shots missed))
Welcome to the 2017-2018 season.

Fouls were even at 20 but Utah gave up 12 more free throw attempts and 8 makes 10/13 vs 18/25.
Utah is only allowing 33.7% from the field, while shooting 49.2% as a team.
Utah had 15 more possessions than Missouri 71 to 56 due to the turnover difference.

Keep in mind the +/- is the difference in their season efficiency, not the +/- score when they're on the floor that many stats now provide.
Good tune up game. Still 16 turnovers. Utah shot 44.8% from deep, Bealer 6/8, Utah allowed 28.6% from MSVST 18/63.
Ho hum...bring on some real competition.

Yes Bibbins had a great game going 5/8 from deep, 36 minutes with only 2 turnovers and 4 assists.
But Rawson had the 6th best performance of the season and his 3rd in the top 6 performances...there's only been 4 games.
Rawson 9 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. If he hits 3 of the 5 shots he missed his efficiency shoots up to 33.
He is becoming the most consistent player on the team.
Bealer 24 is still the season high but there are now 8 20+ PER performances for Utah this year.
Utah was +8 on assists and +7% from the free throw line. Utah had 16 turnovers (averaging 13.8 per game for the season)...terrible
For the first time all year Utah had less blocks than their opponent.\
Utah picked up 37.9% of all offensive rebound opportunities (averaging 31.7% )
Game 5 Efficiency - UNLV 123 Utah 49 (UNLV 85-58)
Well that escalated quickly.

As you can see in the far right column, that's the individual players ranking for a Utah opponent for this season.
UNLV put up 4 of the top 6 performances in this game. The 35 PER for McCoy might go down as the season high against Utah...Until Trier and Ayton at least.
Tillman continues to be strong. I still have Rawson as the #1 player on Utah but Tillman is right behind him. Rawson's ability to shoot the 3 gives him the advantage right now.
Tillman got his second double/double of the season 14 pts, 11 rebounds.
I love watching Jayce play, he's a lanky and awkward guy but he loves to rebound. His offensive game is still week. The travelling he was called on is a simple footworking tweak. He pivoted on the same foot but he switched from his toes to his heel, refs like to call that one. It doesn't feel like a travel but it is. If he can stay on his toes the up and under will be there. The announcers likened his game to Kevin McHale, I like that comparison. If he can learn to run on his toes, he's very flat footed and that's why he appears awkward, then he could be an NBA guy.
Utah was -16 in rebounds, only the second time they've been outrebounded all season. -5 on assists was the first time their opponent had more assists. The Utes were also -10 from the field and -15% in shots. Shooting 35% for the game will do that. Only 2/20 at 10% from deep...yikes!.
This was the highest possession game of year at 139 combined but only the third highest score at 143. This game had the lowest attempts from deep at 36 combined, Utah games average 46 attempts. A lot of that is UNLV, they only attempted 16 and made 5. Didn't matter since they were 26/46 at 56.5% from inside the arc.
Last year I was tracking efficiency per minute, the magic number was 1. If Utah gets over 1 they win, if they get under 1 they lose.

David Collette was obviously the guy EW couldn't stop. 11/12 from the field?
EW is a streaky team, if they get hot they can beat a lot of teams, if they aren't hitting they will lose easily. Last night was the latter.
5/27 from deep 18.5% is a bad night. Utah owned every category last night except steals, -4 and possessions -14.
That game saw 53 three point attempts, third time that's happened this season. Utah is 3-0 in those games.
The only game Utah lost there were only 36 attempts. Key, make them shoot from deep and make threes on your end. Sounds simple.
Utah has only allowed 13 double digit efficiency scores all season, 3 came against EW.
On the other hand Utah has scored 26 double digit efficiency games, 4 came against EW.
Next game is vs Hawaii- 179th in FG%, 347th in 3pt %, 316th in scoring, 122nd in rebounding.
Utah is 108th in FG%, 241st in 3pt %, 60th in scoring, 93rd in rebounding.

First off, it felt like Tyler had a bad game...still had a 16 player efficiency rating. 1/5 from the field, 0/3 from deep...ho hum. But 9 rebounds, 5 assists, only 2 turnovers, 2 steals, 2 blocks. The dude is a stat sheet stuffer.
The announcers made a comment that Rawson is a true triple double threat. Can't say that about a lot of guys but he just does everything. I still have him as the #1 rated player on the team.
2nd, guard play has to improve. PVD needs to get out of this slump. 10/33 on the season only 4/22 from deep. We can't have a key shooter going 18.2% from deep. It will never open up the inside.
Bealer has been consistent from 3 shooting 57.1% at 16/28 and that's been the best part of the season other than Tillman.
Barefield is up and down. Bad vs UNLV, great vs E Washington then bad vs Hawai'i. Hopefully that means he'll be great at Butler.
Collette has only had 2 sup 10 PER games (Missouri and UNLV) The only bad thing about that is those are the best 2 teams Utah has played so far. Will he show up vs Butler?
Tillman continues to impress. The game seems to have already slowed down for him. He reacts before the play happens, that's a great sign for a freshman. He almost got his 3rd double-double of the season last night but unlike Rawson he lacks that's third level to get a triple double. Only 4 assists on the season. He's 54.2% from the field, and tied for first at the line at 85.7% 24/28. If Tillman can turn into a dangerous passer he could jump to the NBA before his senior season.
Utah has only been in one close game (less than 10 pt difference) all season Ole Miss. I hope they can hang with Butler. I see that one as a close one Butler -2. If Collette and Barefield decide to show up I think Utah can pull off the win.
Go Utes!

Layups are hard. Utah shot 42.4%. 35% in the loss to UNLV.
They are 6-0 shooting over 43% 0-2 shooting under 43%
Utah is 6-0 when they hold their opponent under 80. 0-2 when opponents score over 80
Same goes for assists/turnovers 6-0 when opponent is under 1. 0-2 when over 1.
In 2 losses the opponent efficiency per minute is 1.78
In 6 wins the opponent efficiency per minute is 0.91
Utah has only been under 1 EPM once (UNLV). 1.11 vs Butler 2nd lowest
Season low in free throw attempts and makes 9/11 (avg 15.4/19.6)
26 rebounds was the first time Utah had less than 30 rebounds. Avg 37.5
Utah shot better from deep by 3.5% vs Butler but were -12.2% from the field overall.
Collette once again disappeared vs superior talent. I'm starting to think he's playing up a level.
At this point, Tillman and maybe Bibbins are the only Pac12 level players on this team. Maybe Rawson.
That's sad since Tillman and Bibbins weren't on the team last year.

Rawson FG% is dropping off and his fouls are high.
If Tillman can get a handle on his turnovers, 1.5 per game, and improve his assists, he'll run away with this.

First off, I had a feeling Collette would show up. Old team, Mtn West team, easy prediction. Now bring it again big man.
Bibbins was awesome. 3/5 from deep, 7 assists, 4 rebounds. His 23 is the third highest for a Ute this season.
It was also nice to see PVD get some confidence. 3/4 from deep he's now 13/37 from three 26.9%
Tillman had a fall back to Earth game which drops him now to third overall on the team (Rawson #1, Bibbins #2)
Not sure if he was feeling well or the foul trouble just never got him in a groove but he was a non-factor.
Koby McEwen had been averaging 12.4 pts with 2 20pt games and a season low of 9 (three times). Utah completely took him out. He fouled out with 0 points.
Bealer and Tillman had poor games but it was nice to see other players step up in their absence.
This game was perfectly average for Utah.
An average game for Utah is 78-68 in the score, this was 77-67
Utah averages 19 fouls, this game was 20
Utah averages 15 assists, had 15
Utah was great behind the charity stripe, 86.4% was the season high 19/22
Only 2 offensive rebounds but a lot of that had to do with shooting 51%
Utah gave up 12 offensive rebounds to the Aggies, that and 13 more attempts from the field kept the Aggies in this. Aggies were +19 on possessions. -3 on turnovers.
Utah has only been out-blocked once all year (Mississippi -3) they were +5 vs Utah State
Utah has only been out-assisted once all year (UNLV -5) they were +4 vs Utah State
Bring on that other blue team.

Lost in the ugliness of this game was Rawson's near triple double. 15 pts, 10 rebounds 8 assists.
The loss of Tillman was the difference. BYU fans would like to tell you that they were missing Dalton Nixon but that comparison just isn't the same.
Tillman is averaging 10.9 points but in games he played over 20 minutes he's averaging 18.2 pts and 8 assists. Huge loss.
Not to mention his perimeter defense which obviously was poor.
Elijah Bryant, never heard of him until last night, played all 40 minutes, 5/7 from deep and 9 rebounds. I would have to believe Tillman would've had an impact on him defensively.
But that's the way the cookie crumbles. Bryant had a great game and Utah lost. Bibbins appeared to be forcing it a lot, possibly had a personal vendetta vs BYU from the WCC days.
Rawson's 25 is just behind Collette's 29 PER vs Eastern Washington. Gabe Bealer had his 2nd best game of the season and should've been more of a key to the offense IMO vs BYU. He owned that baseline.
Perimeter defense was the difference. -27.3% difference from deep, 10/20 vs 5/22. Only UNLV has a team shot better than deep vs Utah this season.
Utah's 22.7% from deep was the 2nd lowest of the year, 10% vs UNLV
Fouls were even but Utah had 4 less attempts.
Utah has been out-rebounded for the 3rd straight game. Also, for the first time all year Utah didn't register a block, -5 in blocks.
Rebounding is all about heart, Utah is lacking an aggressiveness lately, one that BYU definitely had last night.
That was the slowest game of the season. 108 possessions, Utah games average 126 possessions.
In Utah wins they are +7.4 on rebounding, in Utah losses they are -8.7
In Utah wins they are +7.3 on assists, in Utah losses they are -2.3
Those are the biggest factors between wins and losses for Utah. Which tells me desire and offensive movement need to improve.
Can't win them all. Let's get Tillman and Seeley ready for Pac12 play and shoot for the stars.
This team isn't bad, they pass well and they defend at times. Perimeter D must improve, Tillman and Seeley help immensely with that.

Bibbins coming out party 8/14 from the field 7/10 from deep 6 assists, 3 steals only 1 turnover. FYI, best PER for the season for a Ute.
He's had good games this year. This was his 3rd 20+ PER game (Utah St and Ole Miss), great way to come back after his worst game vs BYU.
Rawson also had his best game of the year, back to back actually. For the guy I've been calling the best player on the team all year, that's nice to see.
8/12 from the field, 4/6 from deep, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks.
Rawson, Bibbins, Johnson and Barefield almost beat the entire NW team. For a game Utah was missing probably their 4 most athletic players that's nice to see.
Collette, Bealer, Seeley and Tillman. Don't forget, in the three games Seeley was averaging 8 PER.
Utah had 6 blocks, big difference from 0 vs BYU. 13 fouls was the lowest for the season. Utah is consistent at being bad.
In the last 7 games Utah has had (11, 13, 13, 11, 13, 13, 13) for turnovers. That's rather impressive.
Utah had 11 offensive boards, double digits for the 6th time this year. Avg 8.3 per game.
They reached 109 efficiency for a team, 4th time this year over 100.
Utah had a 34.9% assists to shots, 2nd highest for the year. Avg 26.9%
Another consistent stat, shots made last 5 games (25, 25, 24, 26, 26) avg 26.7 for season
The 36 shots from beyond was way over their average of 25.3 and a season high. Hadn't broken 30 before this game.
Utah held NWSt to 9 free throw makes, first time in single digits on the season. 9/11. 11 attempts also a season low. Average 13.5/19.3. 81.8% was season high for opponent, first time over 80%
NWSt did get 42 rebounds, only the second time Utah allowed 40+ rebounds (UNLV 46)
NWSt got off 71 (avg 59.9 for Utah opponent)
Utah was +17 on shots from deep, average is +3.9
Utah was +15 on assists, only other time that happened was MS Valley St.
147 possessions was way over the season average 127.7. NWSt liked to run.
Short story, great warmup game for Pac12.
Bring on the Ducks 10-3
Oregon is 67th in FG%, 89th in 3pt%, 13th in pts scored, 52nd in Rebounding.
