2018-19 College Basketball Season-Long Thread - No Back Problems For K This Year
Especially bad to allow so many threes given KP analysis that teams that take more threes tend to make a higher percentage.
Not going to get into a stats argument with you, but small percentage differences matter when you are talking about large amounts of data.
If our opponents are shooting more 3s and making a higher percentage of them against our defense, it is a bad thing. I don't know what other context you need on that. The fact that we were 309th in the country (out of 351 teams) in opponents 3 pt % is not good.
Of course we played several teams that took more 3s than the average. We also played a number that attempted fewer.
I'm not drawing conclusions on what our defensive strategy should be... I am cherry picking a few stats that suggest we didn't defend the 3 well the last couple of seasons. It's tough to win basketball games when your opponents are successfully raining 3s on your defense. Hopefully it improves this year.
