Wow, way to back up your point....with facts. You're right, they are a lock down defensive dynamo and the rest of us don't know anything.

You haven't been reading the rest of the topic have you?

If you had, you wouldn't be saying that I think the defense is amazing. I've simply said it's not terrible, and it's easy to back that up, and multiple people have done so with the only stat that matters for defense.

I have an analogy on the offensive side. I hate the way Omar Calhoun's shooting motion looks. When I see him take a shot, it looks like a bad shooting motion to me, and I expect the ball to not go in.

But he's making 45% of his threes this year, so I have to just get over that and say "he's one of our good 3 point shooters." The stats mean more than how I feel about the way it looks.

i'm not sure exactly what 'facts' you are looking for, you dismiss any relevant fact as a stat and continue posting badly

It's all or nothing on the internet. You just have to accept that, or you are going to be fighting a never ending losing battle.
 
I didn't say they were terrible either just that they were exploitable - - in more ways than I expected especially with our backcourt. Are these faults correctible? Sure but we will see as the competition gets tougher on a regular basis.

I took a look at some actual numbers:

Maine, UNH, Furman, SHU, UMass-Lowell (which actually scored 79 points and shot 50%) and CCSU shot a collective 35.6% (125-351) and averaged 60 pts/game against us. Obviously the Lowell game was a big push for this group statistically. If I take this game out then the numbers become (96-293 or 32.8% and 56.2 pts/game).

I admit that I was a bit surprised to see that Michigan, Cuse, Gonzaga, Maryland, Ohio St and Texas only shot a collective 40.8% (137-336) and averaged 68.2 pts/game against us. OSU and Michigan were excellent defensive games although OSU at #110 in FG% may not be a terrific shooting team (also, Texas sits at #143 for FG%). OSU and Michigan shot a collective 33.9% and averaged 57.5 pts/game.

Using ppg isn't a very good way to look at defense. UNC can play good defense and give up 70 points and Virginia can give up 62 points and play bad defense.
