I've always felt like the team's 3 point defense has been atrocious, but I was curious to see how bad it was. We're currently 9th in the conference in defensive percentage and have allowed more made 3s than any other team in the conference (this includes all games played, not just conference).
Conference Breakdown:
The first column is percentage. The second column how many they made per game compared to their season average. Bolded stats are above that team's season average.
@TCU 42%, -0.9
OSU 32%, 1.1
@WVU 26%, -1.1
Tech 24%, -0.9
TCU 36%, 3.1
@KSU 52%, 1.5
@ OSU 30%, 1.1
Kansas 31%, 0.0
Baylor 52%, 8.2!
@Texas 36%, 2.0
WVU 36%, 0.2
@ISU 41%, -0.4
@Tech 52%, 4.1
Texas 38%, 1.0
As you can see the 3 point D has been pretty bad during the start of conference play, but starting with the Baylor game it has been truly abysmal.
I'm curious as to why you guys might think it's so bad. It's not because guys are packing the paint for a rebound. We're an average rebounding team (currently 5th in the conference in margin). And we're not great at defending the paint either.
It's weird to me because with Lattin and McNeace's reputation as shot blockers, one might think our guards and the 4 position might spend more time defending the three point line, but that's obviously not the case.
