FredsSlacks Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 I thought this was interesting. this year's team has been better than the 13-14 tourney team in every way except for turnovers. these stats don't mean everything, but i think it at least suggests we're not as far off as some people think. also, both teams started out 8-8. 15-16 season so far ppg-73 reb per gm- 37 ast- 12 stl per gm-7 blk per gm-3 FG%-44.5% FT %- 71% 3 pt%- 36.5% Turnovers per gm-14 13-14 ppg-67 reb per gm- 33 ast- 10 stl per gm-7 blk per gm-3 FG%-42.7% FT %- 71% 3 pt%- 33% Turnovers per gm-11 Quote

Until they do that, they will struggle. Quote
Chad A Posted January 9, 2016 Report Posted January 9, 2016 I'm kind of interested in how the 13-14 team compared to this team - year to date. I recall that team also struggling on the defensive end early - but picking up the intensity after dropping games early in conference. I'm thinking about that UAB game where UAB seemed to score at will which seemed to be the nadir. But then turn around and win that Ohio State game with excellent D and a hot shooting Petteway, I think from then on eventually they clamped down defensively and made it their identity. Can this team make that turnaround defensively? Fullbacksympathy 1 Quote
