Even with two straight subpar offensive rebounding performances, for the season Duke is still the #1 offensive rebounding team in the country (42.3%). I agree it would be nice to get back to that after two down games.
Regarding assists, it's interesting to split our season into top 40 vs. non-top 40:
Duke assist% in games vs. top 40 teams (3 games): 34.7% (equivalent of #362 in the country)
Duke assist% in games vs. teams outside top 40 (5 games): 60.6% (equivalent of #39 in the country)
Not sure to what extent this is low-sample noise, but we do seem to pass less against better teams. Ohio State is, of course, a top 40 team, so we'll see if this trend continues.
Finally, FWIW, here are our four factor performances in last season's Ohio State game:
OFFENSE
eFG: 41.5%
FTR: 24.6%
OR%: 21.4%
TO%: 10.0%
DEFENSE
eFG: 55.6%
FTR: 40.7%
DR%: 79.4%
TO%: 17.1%
This season, our defense seems to be better than last year's team, so hopefully we'll keep our fouls and their shooting percentage down. We're also a better offensive rebounding team, so hopefully we can keep our OR% and our shooting percentage up.
