Yet, this year's team is on pace to shoot 100 more threes than last year's. This year's team is 3rd, yes 3rd, in 2P% at ~60%. This year's team is one of the WORST rebounding teams in the country, ranked 341st. This year's team is 305th in Opponent's FG% and 335th in Opponents 3P% Last year's team created 479 TO's vs committing 376 This year's team created 380 TO's vs committing 415 Quick summary - last year's team had no problem absorbing 13 TO/game, because they could back it up defensively - from a FG%, points/game and creating TO's. They were a better rebounding team and certainly controlled pace and tempo better, getting to the foul line astronomically more than this year's team. If there was a player from last year's team that really could help this year's, I would say Kyle Davis and what he brought on the defensive end of the floor. Sure, any of the other 3 seniors would be welcomed additions to this year's team, but it appears that so many of our problems are defensive breakdowns and inadequacies.

There is also a clear correlation between opponent’s fg% and rebounding, end result is the same.
