Message: [QUOTE="Balker, post: 4508277, member: 6682"] The storyline the metrics tell is not an offensive problem that’s driving our losses. Shots fall sometimes, sometimes they don’t. We will occasionally lose a game where the other team plays well and our threes don’t fall, that’s not completely avoidable for any team. A consistent theme in our losses is a defensive failure. We have allowed opponents to score more than 1 point per possession 6 times this year. We are 1-5 in those games, the win being Georgetown. What is consistent in those six games is either a large foul disparity, a large turnover disparity or both. Joey C and Alleyne have shot the ball worse of late, but that’s not why we’re losing games. We are a good enough team to win anyway. But not if we are spotting our opponents 5-10 extra possessions and 10-20 extra free throws. [/QUOTE]
