Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 5182642, member: 7171"] UConn has some strange team stats. Some terrific, some not so good. On the free throw front, UConn is 350th out of 353 in free throw attempts per game. It is 293rd in offensive rebounds per game. On the other hand, while they don't get to the line much, they are fourth in (fewest) fouls committed per game. Also third in fewest points allowed per game and 14th in field goal percentage defense. They are also first in field goal percentage, first in assist to turnover ratio, and third in number of assists per game. Of course, being first in field goal percentage partially explains the low offensive rebounding status. The stats suggest a disciplined, great passing, great shooting team that plays very good defense without fouling. A finesse team, not a particularly physical team that mixes it up much. That is consistent with what we see. There will be some very physical games coming up in the regular season and in the NCAA Tournament and they key IMHO will be whether they can play to their considerable strengths in those games.
