Nebraska Womens BB is 25% through the regular season. Statistics to date.

There are many ways to measure player efficiency ratings.  One used by the NBA is (points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks - missed FT - missed FG - turnovers)/ games.

After 8 games the following shows our players:

Alexis M.     19.0

Natalie P.    15.6

Jaz S.          12.9

Darian W.    12.8

Callin H.       8.1    (trending up as she works to be a more complete player)

Annika S.     7.5    (2 games because of injury)

Kendall C.    5.1    (trending up as she is looking more for her shot)

Jessica P.    5.0   (trending up as she is learning to play 2 positions)

Logan N.     4.8    (trending up as she gains confidence)

Maddie K.   2.8    (5 games coming off of injury starting 4)

Kendall M.  2.6    (started 4 games)

 

Granted these stats favor offense a little more then defense and not all contributions are in the stats that we see.  For comparison Michael Jordan had a career efficiency of 28 in the NBA which is a lot tougher then college.  Last year for 13 games Allison W. was at 14.1.  Last year Caitlin Clark was at 30 for 38 games and is at about the same level for 9 games this year.  If we can get our 5th starter playing at or above an efficiency of 10 we will be in good shape.  If not then after Stewart is healthy and Mendelson joins the team take a look at Potts playing the 3 position some.

Anyone know Stewart's timeline for returning?

Thanks for the information.  Someone needs to step up and help Markowski on the boards.

A little birdie told me that she was getting her boot off this week.

For the sake of comparison, the NBA considers 15 PER league average.

[whoopdeedoo]

went and checked the last six seasons for average to's per game:

 

2022-23    huskers  15.2    opp  15.1

2021-22     huskers  14.0   opp  14.8

2020-21    huskers  13.4   opp   9.9

2019-20    huskers  14.2    opp  12.8

2018-19    huskers   15.0    opp  15.2

2017-18     huskers   14.8   opp  14.2

 

i guess i expected to see a little wider discrepency. except for the one season, it's pretty comparable.

however, would like to hear announcers say..."this is a team that doesn't turn over the ball much"

For me personally I get a lot more upset when we have unforced turnovers versus one caused by a great defensive play.  For example in the last couple of games we had non starters at least twice throw long cross court passes that ended up in the 3rd row of the bleachers.  Some times our subs try to throw Shelly type passes instead of playing within themselves.

After 10 games with Alexis, Jaz and Darian all averaging 27 minutes I adjusted the rest of the players efficiencies from their individual averages to 27 minutes each.  I left Anika out this time due to only playing 2 games.

 

Alexis      20.2

Natalie    18.1

Jaz          15.4

Callin       14.7

Darian      12.9

Logan       11.1

Jess          11.0

Kendall C   9.8

Maddie       6.1

Kendall M   6.0

 

Again as previously noted this statistic somewhat favors offense contributions over defense.  And doesn't include other contributions players make that don't show up on the stat sheets.
