Wichita State (9-3) at Temple (7-5) Game Discussion: Jan 03 (Fri)

[Aargh]

Bell is 51/102 on shots inside the arc, for exactly 50% or 1 point per attempt. A kick out to a 3 shooter would require that shooter to have 33%+ for a kick out to be more effective for points than Bell attempting a shot.

Washington and McGinnis are the only players on the team (other than Bell) shooting 33% or better from 3. They are rarely on the floor at the same time.

A defense can collapse on Bell, and leave anyone other than Washington or McGinnis open. If Bell kicks out to Hill Cortes or Beverly, those guys are just going to drive to the basket and Bell is better at that than they are. Those guys should be kicking out to Bell because he's hitting 3's at 37.9%, but they don't and somehow it's Bell that takes the heat on SN for not kicking out from a clogged lane.

You lost me at “Bell must first kick out”

I am changing my prediction from a 80-70 loss to a 77-72 win simply based on we are over due for a good start. Hill and HB with above average games. I will be pleasantly surprised if XB shoots 50% in this game but Aargh is correct with his numbers.

Aargh, thank you for a factual assessment of Bell. I have never understood the continuous Bell hate on SN, especially with him being a local kid. I think if people wanted to be honest and look at everything he brings to the table, X is one or two best players on the team along with Washington.

Thanks for the info. That is really eye opening. I really like Bells attitude of all things. He is always positive. Also. My frustration is usually limited to the times he appears to have tunnel vision and takes the ball to the basket and forces a shot that has zero chance of going in. But. At the same time he is scoring at a very efficient rate. So keep it up XB!

Now run the numbers against teams not ranked 200 or lower on the schedule.
