Roster makeup:
Offense: 242nd in efficiency.
Defense: 9th in efficiency.
- Play 9 deep and have the size to match our size.
- Two of their projected starters are out with long-term injuries
- Their starting PG last year, Ace Baldwin, is out until January with Achilles injury
- Their starting wing last year, Jamir Watkins, tore his ACL in September
- Because of these injuries, all three of their true freshmen are in the rotation, including their part-time PG, Jayden Nunn.
Offense: 242nd in efficiency.
- 16th highest turnover rate in the country (25.9% of possessions). 5th nationally in turnovers that are not caused by either blocks/steals, so mentally not there
- Shoot 29.3% from three, and only 30.7% of their shots are from three (299th most in nation)
- They share the ball well: 60.7% of their FGMs are from assists (30th in the nation)
- They do an OK job getting to the line (118th in the nation)
Defense: 9th in efficiency.
- Mike Rhoades’ HAVOC Press: full-court man-to-man pressure. Thanks to this style of defense, opponents have the 6th slowest offensive pace in the nation, averaging 19.1 seconds/possession.
- Top-11 ranking in both 2p% and 3p% defense
- 15th overall in turnover % (25.9% of possessions result in a turnover caused)
- They don’t defensive rebound well (340th defensive rebound rate)
