OFFENSE
Possessions: 76.5 (not too fast, not too slow)
oRtg: 1.16 (decent but not great)
eFG%: 56.5% (not bad)
3pt%: 18.2% (really, really bad)
2pt%: 70.2% (really, really good)
%threes: 31.9% (probably a little high for a team that shot so poorly, but acceptable)
FT rate: 26.1% (oddly low for a team who scored so many two-point baskets)
OR%: 25.7% (dreadful for the second straight game; could be a point of concern)
TO%: 11.8% (outstanding)
a/to: 1.55:1 (acceptable)
%assisted: 37.8% (kinda low)
fast break pts: 8 (9.0% of points; poor)
DEFENSE
dRtg: 0.72 (very good)
eFG%: 37.8% (also very good)
3pt%: 23.8% (ditto)
2pt%: 38.2% (ditto ditto)
%threes: 38.1% (if they're going to shoot poorly, I guess you don't mind that they jacked up so many)
FT rate: 40.0% (pretty bad for the second straight game; point of concern?)
DR%: 81.0% (outstanding)
TO%: 23.5% (good; not as good as against Kansas, but we may not hit 35% again this season)
a/to: 0.28:1 (incredibly low, which I guess is good)
%assisted: 27.8% (same)
stl%: 15.7% (good)
blk%: 10.9% (17.6% of 2pt shots) (strong)
fast break pts: 10 (18.2% of points; not so great for the second straight game; point of concern?)
So, level of competition several levels lower than our first game, but at least we had decent offense and a well-rounded defense. On D, other than free throw rate this was a very strong performance all around. On O, low turnovers and very high pct on 2-point shots, but somewhat bleh for pretty much everything else.
I think the offensive rebounding is really an even bigger concern than the 3pt shooting. This team is simply not going to be a good 3pt team this season, much like last season. The shooters just aren't there. But only getting one shot per possession is what really gets us in big trouble down the road. That's where we offset our terrible 3pt% last season. I hope this is a point of emphasis in practice going forward or there could be some nail biting going on as we get into the meat of the season.
