Was just reviewing some stats and I’m not sure if they could paint any more damning of a picture on our predicament at the 5 spot than they do. As far as opponent statistics allowed goes, OU is currently at or above the 70th percentile in almost every category except for a few. The ones we are struggling in along with the percentile they fall in:
- Off Rebound % allowed (32nd percentile)
- % of points allowed in the paint (27th percentile)
- % points on second chance (22nd percentile)
- Opponent 2 point % (36th percentile)
- Block % (34th percentile)
So we are allowing too many offensive boards, giving up too many points at the basket and second chance points, and in the bottom half of CFB in block %.
On the bright side, we are doing a good job of forcing teams to take a ton of threes and defending it well. We are in the 18th percentile in 3 point attempt rate allowed (meaning teams take a ton of threes against us), but opponents are only connecting on 26.5% of their 3s putting us in the 96th percentile (ELITE) in that category. If one thing is for certain, Moser knows some voodoo on how to defend the 3.
