For the first 15 minutes of the game, I was disgruntled. Why? Here’s why:
That’s Cal’s first half shot chart. Not pictured on the image are Cal’s 13 shots at the basket. So, here’s the rough breakdown of Cal’s first half shooting:
Dunks/layups: 9-13
Other 2s: 3-10
Threes: 2-4
But it’s worth noting that five of Cal’s made layups or threes came in the final 5 minutes of the first half. For the first 15 minutes of the game, something like half of Cal’s shots from the field were other 2 point shots.
