Ugly. Teams have 40 more 3 pointer attempts against us then the next highest team. Also, we are 19 3 pointers made behind the next highest team. And dead last in scoring defense to top it off.

Looking at these stats, we have a long way to go.

 

[Sooner23]

We sure all these guys coming back next year is a good thing?

No we are not.

 

[WTSooner]

Looking at these stats, we have a long way to go.

To being a top 5 Big 12 team? I don't see it that way at all.

First I want to point out how I hate looking at average points per game, both offensively and defensively, and trying to get much of that. Pace and style of play have a TON to do with both of those numbers. The efficiency stats that Ken Pom has on his site (but you now have to pay to see), would be much more telling.

As for the rest of the stats.....we're in the top 5 or so of a lot of the ones that matter. The pure rebounding numbers again don't tell the story. But when you get down to the rebounding percentage/efficiency stats, we're high on both offensive and defensive efficiency. We high in assists, and assists to turnovers. Top 5 in steals despite not playing a pressure defense.

The biggest thing this team needs to improve is simply better scorers/shooters. Like I said last night, stick another shooter in our lineup instead of Cam, a guy that can really stretch the floor, and I think you'd see us look completely different.

Do I think this team, plus the new guys, can make the Dance next year? I don't know. I'd like to think so, but that will probably mean that Cam goes back playing/shooting like he did as a frosh, Neal will need to at least be average from outside the arc, and the two new guards will need to contributors. We don't need any of them to be stars, or something they aren't, but we'll be hard pressed to improve much on this season if Cam has a similar season to this one.

I would agree for comparing teams across all of Div I, but not within a conference where everyone plays everyone twice.

I once had the same feelings, but after looking at these defensive rankings, we need more. Dead last in points against. Dead last in 3 pointers against (teams average 8 makes per game against us, only 1 team in the league averages more 3s made per game). 2nd worst in point differential.

The thing is that a lot of these stats got worse from this year to last even though guys that were frosh/soph are now soph/juniors. People ripping Cam Clark dont seem to realize that he proved last year that he can knock down an open jumper. He led our team in 3pt% ahead of Cade, Pledge, Newell, Blair and Neal.

The problem is that Grooms kills our spacing and our other guys have to work so hard to get a shot that they end up taking tough shots with 1 or 2 guys in their face. Having a Doug Gottlieb type on your team is ok if you run and gun nonstop, but in the half court everybody just backs off Grooms and it kills us.

Not to mention that he shoots 20% from the 3-pt line himself. That doesnt help either.

Not to mention that he shoots 20% from the 3-pt line himself. That doesnt help either.

I get what you are saying, but I don't think it's fair to blame all of our shooting woes on Grooms. Cam, Neal, and Blair have ALL had plenty of wide open jumpers that they've missed. Cam was cold even before teams realized it was smart to back off Grooms.

I think Cam can shoot it better than he did this season, but I also think that a) Cam is fickle, and lets bad shooting affect him game to game, and b) will never be consistent with his stroke.
