I watched the game on Live Stream - but today when I examined the Box Score a number of surprises jumped out at me....A few examples:
(1) The Beavs and SC shot fairly similar from 3: SC 5/22, Beavs 7/22. (My memory was that SC was "missing everything" and the Beavs were pretty much on target.)
(2) The 8 Beaver guards combined for only 3 3 pointers: Adlee (1) and Talia (2). (Forwards Timea and Rees hit 4 3s).
(3) The Beaver bench and the SC bench both scored for the same # of points: 24.
(4) Beavers had 15 turnovers and SC 6.
(5) Rees did not score a 2 point field goal in the entire game.
------------------------
Now, I agree that none of these are earth-shaking numbers, but in my particular case, they showed me how much my personal memory of the game was not in sync with what actually took place on the court!!
Anyone else experience surprises when checking out the Box Score?
GO BEAVS!!

You mean it happens to someone else? Even more extreme is what I see live, or think I see, and what I see recorded the next day when I watch it.
This game was a blow out on the scoreboard but not so much on the court.
I'm really hopeful that how the Beavs dealt with the physicality of sc will bode well for pac12 games against teams like Colorado.

That 3 point shooting is pretty deceptive. SCU was 2-18, then hit 3 of 4 to close the game. Way too late to make any difference.

I suspect you were focused on their 3 point shooting because that's how they beat Oregon. They missed their first 9 or 10 last night, and I'm sure we were all very much aware of that.
The equal bench scoring just serves to illustrate how dominant our starters were versus theirs - doubled them up, 56 - 28.
The stat I was most drawn to throughout the game (I was at Gill) was the rebounding margin, which finished up at 25. It is basically impossible to win a game when you potentially give the other team 25 more shots at the basket. Even if you subtract the negative turnover numbers, it's still 16 more shots.

thanks bvrbooster - good observations about 3-point shooting and bench points....
I might add that rebounding margin is also one of those not-sure-what-the-hell-is-going-on stats.
Rebounds can only come from missed shots. So another way to look at it is that it's basically impossible to win a game when you miss that many shots.
At any rate, looking at the game stats help you to reset your memory - because left to its own devices it will trick and deceive you!
GO BEAVS!!

A good example of stats not telling the whole story...

Plus the Beavs shot 50% to 25% for SC
