For the third straight game, the Seminoles proved their offensive ability. Their offensive efficiency was 118.6 with an eFG% of 66%. The Seminoles had 75 possessions in the game, the most so far this season. With only 14 turnovers, the Seminoles had a TO% of only 18%, the second game in a row with a TO% of less than 20%.
Despite the impressive offensive numbers, the Seminoles only had an OReb% of 19% and only shot 53% from the line. When your up as much as the Seminoles were, you can get away with it. The Seminoles have shot poorly from the line in two games so far this year. Against better opponents, shooting 53% from the line won't cut it. Mercer also out rebounded the Noles 43 to 39. This may have resulted from the fact that Mercer was content to shoot long shots and miss, resulting in long rebounds that are essentially luck to recover.
