From NCAA.com and ULSPorts.com, as of today for the regular 2011 season:
Gorgui Dieng finished in the top 50 for Rebounds Per Game. Great start for this already loved frosh. TJ was #65.
Peyton Siva finished in the top 25 for Steals Per Game. His 66 steals ranks eighth in a single season all-time at U of Preston! was #50! (Does the first ! negate the second ! ?) Peyton Siva also finished in the top 50 for Assists Per Game.
However, he was only #158 in ATO ratio. Work on it teddybear!
Preston! finished in the top 20 for 3 Point Goals Per Game, partly by being the 42nd best 3point shooter.
(I did not look up rebounding leaders.)
Louisville finished 75th in the nation in Men's Basketball Division I Scoring Defense. Immediately below Duke and UK. The Bearcats were 5th and Pittsburg 16th.
UL finished 7th in the nation in Assists Per Game. Pittsburg was 4th and Kansas 1st.
UL was 5th in the country at Steals per game. The Orange were 17th. Since the Cards were in the top third for Turnovers Per Game, this left UL 18th best for Assist/Turnover Ratio.
UL finished 12th in 3Point Goals Per game. BYU was 17th, Duke 20th and Notre Dame 26th. Conversely, they were top 20 at stopping 3 point goals. Arizona was 2nd, and Kansas 7th.
UL won at least 20 games for the ninth straight season, a feat accomplished by only nine schools.
Since joining the Big East, Louisville’s 71-33 league mark in that stretch trails only Pittsburgh (75-29.)
PK needs 39 to break 1000!
With its victory over Pitt, Louisville defeated four consecutive AP top-five opponents for the second time in school history and first since 1956.

Good stuff. Thanks.

Good stuff except that Gorgui is 50th in blocked shots not rebounds
God I wish Gorgui and TJ were both in the top 65 in rebounds. Would have prevented several losses. Oh well, maybe next year.

Also, how good would Gorgui's numbers be if adjusted for playing time?
Gorgui averages 2.1 blocks per game but plays less than 16 minutes. The nations leader William Mosley at Northwestern State averages 4.9 per game but plays over 31 minutes. Gorgui is probably in the top 10 if adjusted for playing time (like rebounds per 40 min).
Also he is actually 47th in blocks not 50th per the ncaa.com stats.

In the same vein as above, since injuries and other factors caused us to play so many different people all year, I'll bet ALL of our guys stats would be better when adjusted for playing time. These numbers really don't do us justice.

I have a massive spreadsheet and already track things per minute. It gives
some very interesting perspectives. I also added a new statistic I call impact. Impact is a tally of positive points for good things like scored points, steals, assists and subtractions for turnovers, fouls etc. These new perspectives are why I seldom call for Bullet any more.
I decided to follow my own suggestion and see how Gorgui compares when adjusted for playing time
Brett Royster of Florida Atlantic is #10 in blocks with a 3.1 avg per game. He averages playing 30 minutes per game so he has 4.1 blocks per 40 minutes played. Gorgui has 5.3 blocks per 40 minutes played
Chris Gaston at Forham is the 4th leading rebounder in the country with 10.3 per game. he plays 34.4 minutes which is 11.97 per 40 minutes played. Gorgui 11.2 rebounds per 40 minutes played.
Gives you an idea of what his numbers could (hopefully will) look like when he gets more playing time. And that is at his current skill level which can be expected to go up considerably as he learn s the game. Big time potential here!

At the risk of repeating myself
Gorgui is going to be a monster.

Louisville is
1-6 when it has 30 or less rebounds
The one win was vs St. Johns
I posted back in December that free throws and rebounds would be our Achilles heel this year and I still stand by that. If we shoot 70+% from the line and hold our own on the boards - we win!

See my comments at Hell in the Hall after each of the first few games of the season ....
1) Rebounding
I asked Pitino about this during several early press conferences and he had no good answers then—or now— he finally gave up and said we are just going to have to ’team rebound"….
2) I will also now add depth at point guard— I thought for awhile Bullet could handle it—but he obviously can’t. And Preston showed that while he’s trying, he is not a real answer either—but frankly our only one now
Also essential (obviously, but we are doing it)—-
Continuing the crisp ball movement ,
continuing some inside—outside passing and SOME inside offensive presence to allow such, AND
continuing decent free throw shooting. It is has not been that bad really— against WVU we shot close to 70% on free throws. WVU shoot near 90% !
Yes-- but unfortuantely Pitino has said he's not really an answer there either
except for a few minutes of frenetic D
Do you think he has the ability to be a competent backup to Siva?
Especially if Peyton keeps getting all those cheap reach in fouls. And how will he fit in when Rodney Purvis arrives. Will Purvis be the 2?

They can rebound though
As evidence vs Pitt
I posted somewhere else about the PG situation. If Siva gets in foul trouble, I don’t like our chances. Once we saw Preston playing PG you knew how Pitino felt about R.Smith and Justice for right now.
Yes--although we are near superhuman at home -- adrenaline from 22000+ helping
Pitino IMO needs to remember and use SVT more, if we are going to hold our own away from home on the boards
Agree with you. And if we made one more free throw we would have shot 70% and one more point = a win!
by Carolina Cardinal on Mar 9, 2011 7:36 AM EST up reply actions
True--but you're reaching on the free throw thing.... if we gotten even 5 of those 20+ offensive
rebounds WVU got, I’d say we win easily
Agree 100%
Remember my original comment in December said that free throws AND REBOUNDS were what we needed to be successful. I would say that rebounding is probably the most important of the two. You can’t keep giving the opponent second chances. It will kill you.

Looks like this one's going down to the wire
I wish I had access to espn3 from work.
"Screech, you CAN'T elope!"
"Who are you calling a cantaloupe, you melonhead?"
Damn, wrong thread
I hate it when that happens.
