Thanks for the work Wally - interesting result. I thought there would have been a larger variation from their different situations as freshman.
Hoophuskee- a poor man's quick analysis - shots taken per game by Uconn:
DT Average: 60.7 - 65.3, 63.0, 58.5, 56.0
Maya Average: 61.0 - 64.1, 61.4, 60.6, 57.7
Stewart Avg: 63.9 - 63.1, 62.2, 64.4, 65.7*
The problem with any team numbers is of course they vary dramatically depending on opponent and score - starters play only 25 minutes in easy games, 35+ minutes in competitive games. And the pace of play even with starters in changes dramatically depending on score - 'calling off the dogs' when the team is content to work on half court offense and defense.
And counting shots does not deal with fouls, offensive rebounds, steals, and turnovers - I don't think you can really conclude anything much from the numbers above. Play a Villanova style offense two or three times a year and the average shots per game would go down, play a UNC or OSU and they go up - play Oregon from a few years ago and you might get 80+ shots. I suspect this year's average will drop a little with the next four games being more defensive minded than the season as a whole.
