Craziest Stat Since I've Been Following St. John's

Since we started conference play (including the Darmouth game), Dom Pointer has TWO total offensive rebounds. He has one offensive rebound in the last EIGHT games playing an average of about 20 mpg--NONE in the last FOUR games. What's worse, he is averaging ONE total rebound per game the last four games. That is unacceptable and needs to be addressed.

Rysheed Jordan, by comparison, DOUBLED Pointer's nine-game offensive rebound total in his first ever Big East game in just 26 minutes. In two games, Jordan gathered as many offensive boards as Dom has on the entire 21-game season.

WTF?

When not doing Michael Graham impressions, getting so chippy as his play regresses.

I really though Dom was going to take a step forward this year. Too bad that has not been the case.
 
One of the craziest stats in SJU history had to be the number of successive field goal attempts made in the Fordham game. Was it 27?
This team struggles to make three in a row so even though the game was out of reach and there was absolutely no pressure it still seems mind boggling.

17 in a row during the 1st half.

I remember back in '64 Joe Lapchick's team went two weeks without missing a shot, and then Chris Mullin, who we called Muttsy, once went 9 games without missing

I'm sticking with what I said before. The guy doesn't like contact. Makes sense when you consider how he freaks when someone gets too close to him. Mcderm rode him in the backcourt a bit, and Dom gets all out of sorts. Lucky he didn't get teed up. If he was forced to trade body blows underneath, he may get suspended.

and as Yogi Berra would say, "And that's in a good month" #-)
 
Maybe Dom does not have offensive rebounds because he is often off standing on the perimeter where our offense apparently calls for a non-shooter to be standing so that he can pass the ball to someone else.
 
No one on this team offensive rebounds. Most of Jordan's come off his own misses. No one on this team makes any of the "hustle" plays, jst theway it is.
 
Speaking of offensive rebounds

Insider article so I can't post it all but here is the beginning

THESE DAYS, the NBA seems to be giving up on the idea of offensive rebounding. It's not just that teams are averaging 11 offensive boards per game this season, down from 14.4 in 1991-92, when Dennis Rodman was the last player to grab more than 500 ORs in a season. It's that Miami ranks dead last in the NBA in total offensive rebounds (through Jan. 12), with Indiana, shockingly, 29th and San Antonio 28th. Apparently, the best minds in the league believe that crashing the glass doesn't win games.

Usually, I let Gregg Popovich and LeBron James go about their business. But the numbers say that the teams that shun offensive rebounding do so at their peril. They are failing to maximize their scoring, and they're creating a giant opportunity for smart clubs to surpass them in the future.

Amid the NBA's evolution from big men to mobile wings and sharpshooters, many organizations have bought into the notion that hitting the boards leaves a team vulnerable on transition defense.
 
If he insists on giving Pointer minutes he should be running the baseline looking for garbage pts or an occasional alley oop. Instead he's usually handling the ball 10 feet behind the 3 pt arc pointing at guys where to go like he's the architect of the offense. Has anyone seen Balamou in the last month
