We Lead The Conference In Fouling

I don't know what to tell you dude. Look at the rank.

Wouldn’t #262 in opp 3pt percentage mean that they are hitting them at a rather high percentage?

262 is our rank so it’s bad nationally I think. He’s still not making any sort of good point.

Yup I read it wrong

We are slow at the 1, 2 and 4 with a foul-happy 5. I'm not terribly surprised.

BE refs also suck.

Agree. Not to pick on anyone but nearly every single time AK is guarding anyone who decides to score on him its a score or a foul.

Yes. Letting our opponents shoot 34.9% from 3 puts us in the bottom third nationally. That's 1.05 points per shot, probably 1.2 points per possession. Very poor.

I doubt we'll still be there at the end of the season. Getting Castle back, Clingan back, and playing Diarra more will help.

We were talking about 3 point defense and I looked up the numbers. I was surprised by that and the 2 point percentage. Our defense was 14th in 3 point percentage last year about 5% below what we’re at now. I thought our 2 point percentage would be a lot worse with our dribble penetration issues and Clingan being out.

These things usually balance out by the end of the season, but it's definitely not a great number right now.

One thing i've noticed is that a couple schools shot way over their head from 3 against us this season:
Ark PB- 40%
Seton Hall- 37.5%
New Hampshire- 48.1%
Manhattan- 44.4%
Kansas- 64.3%
Butler- 47.1%

This is like 40% of the games we've played. I watched all these games (as im sure you all did), and i seem to remember thinking that teams were just incredibly lucky to be hitting these shots that they never make against anyone else. It's not like we're leaving shooters open all over the floor. Kansas averages 36.9% on the season, and nearly DOUBLED that against us !

Or maybe i'm just biased, and i assume every time someone hits a shot against us they must be lucky.

I just wanna say if we defended like Houston, our entire team would foul out by the second half.
