Telling Stats

[NT03]

I have yet to go over the stats for all the games ( my time is limited ) so I just chose to choose our 4 SBC losses.

Here is our opponents 3 pt % for our 4 losses.

NO: 11/23 48%

UALR: 10/14 71%

ASU: 7/16 44%

FIU: 10/20 50%

Grand Total: 38/71 53.5% Nearly 30pts a game come by way of the 3

Sure on some nights you will catch a HOT team , but this is ridiculous.. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. If in man , apply more pressure on the ball , don't leave your man , don't sag. If playing zone , extend the perimeter. You will not win many games giving up more than 50% from behind the arc. It's a trend , not luck. Any D-I guard/forward can hit an open jump shot.

Great stats. Yeah, we're not just running into a rash of hot teams. Our lousy "D" is making those teams hot.

The UALR one is definitely a combination of bad D with a hot shooting night. No one gets 71% from beyond the arc without a hot hand. The rest, that's bad D. And these teams are making it a point to exploit that.

I'm not the greatest at math but i don't think 10/21 is 50%

Damn close!

Pull Bell! 36 MINUTES, 1-7, 3 points, 2 boards, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers. See what some of the other guys can do. I wish I was joking, but I KNOW I can do better than that! And all I play these days is church league ball!

Actually it was just a typo , they were 10/20 for 50%

How about shut up and win?

I have actually been wondering about this stat.

In the games that we have lost I have looked up at the 3 pt totals board and watched it get rediculously high.

We have been "schooled" from the 3 point line by other teams.

I would say that they have probably beeen watching our film and seing holes in the perimeter of our defense, and then practicing their 3pt shots and plays

So far, for the teams that have done that, it has worked well.
