Message: [QUOTE="ToolzieFan, post: 4180194, member: 7018"] You are definitely making an important point about the distinction between a good shooting team and a good offensive team. Points per possession (or more advanced offensive metrics) is a much better indicator of offensive talent than just shooting percentage. Per KenPom, we are 156th in effective FG%, 210th in 2-PT FG%, and 81st in 3-PT%, but 20th in adjusted offensive efficiency. A big part of that is because we are 2nd in the country in offensive rebounding percentage. We’re also solidly above average in terms of getting to the line and not turning the ball over. Are we susceptible to a team that keeps us off the offensive glass on a night when our shots don’t fall? Probably. Still, despite looking bad every few games, we are a much better offensive team than some people give us credit for. [/QUOTE]
