Early statistical analysis of WF:
Strengths:
- Like last year, WF gets to the line a lot (21st in the nation in FTA per FGA)
- Keeping opponents off the offensive glass (8th in the nation in opponents offensive rebounding %)
Weaknesses:
- Forcing turnovers, WF is #326 in opponents TO% (related to this WF is #320 in steals per game)
- Giving up turnovers, WF is #220 in TO% turning the ball over as WF turns the ball over in 21% of its offensive possessions
Other observations:
- WF is near the bottom in the nation in 3 point shots per FG attempt (#348) and 3 pointers being part of the offense (#345).
- WF plays a lot of guys (#90 in bench minutes)
- WF has played a weak schedule so far (#214)
To sum up:
WF doesn't shoot well, doesn't take care of the ball, doesn't force the opponent into turnovers, but when the opponent misses, WF gets the rebound, and if WF doesn't turn the ball over, WF gets to the line a lot, at least against bad teams.
