The net effect is Tech being outscored by 9.3 points in the second half of losses. We're actually fairly consistent offensively, scoring roughly 40 points per half. Our opponents just seem to find another gear in the second half (aka the adjust to our awful zone).
If you break the assists, turnovers, rebounds, and personal fouls down by half, it's about 50:50 across the board except with personal fouls. We've fouled a lot of players at the end of games inflating the PF stats. Check the chart:
Georgia Tech's first half assist to turnover ratio is around 1.1:1 while our second half ratio dips below that at 0.9:1. Opponents maintain a steady 1.3:1 assist:turnover ratio in the first half and have averaged a 1:1 a:t ratio in the second half. Victorious opponents have gotten 13 more boards in the first half and 6 more in the second half than GT this season. Interestingly, in Georgia Tech's losing efforts we've committed two fewer turnovers than our opponents but fouled our opponents on average 6.8 more times per game.

Conditioning?
Looking at the drop in 2H FG % and considering Shumpert’s cramping issues I wonder if this team just isn’t well-enough conditioned. Legs go in the 2H and with them the shooting and defense.
maybe
That is a decent point, but please don’t give Hewitt any more reason to make the stays on the floor at Hotel Hewitt any shorter :)
I have gone to recording most of the games so that I can fast forward through the 2nd half meltdown quicker.
Hotel Hewitt part of the problem
When you yank guys off the floor at the first sign of being winded you don’t give them a chance to learn how to break through it and get their second wind. Then at crunch time when you want your best on the floor they can’t get it done.
