Strange collection of stats:
  • We are 10th in the country in 2P% and 15th in turnover rate. Those are the two things we are doing really well on the offensive end.
  • We are 320th in FTA per FGA. Very strange that we shoot so well inside the arc, but no one cares to foul us much.
  • We are 1st in the country in defensive efficiency. Among other things, we are 3rd in effective FG% allowed and 7th in turnover rate on that end.
  • It is amazing that we have held onto that #1 position despite being 291st in defensive rebounding rate.
Couple interesting points on St. Joseph's(PA): (1) They are 263rd in offensive rebounding percentage, so not ideally positioned to expose us in that area. (2) They are 346th in 3P% - at 23.7%. That is 6th worst in the country. It will be interesting to see how the adrenaline affects them in each area.
