Looking at some stats

Post by RAMBLOR »

Through the first five games, I thought I'd look at a few stats and pull out the ones that show where we are really struggling.

According to https://barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Lo ... &year=2026:

LUC is...

-346th in 3P% against, giving up 41.6%
-352nd in offensive block %, with 20% of our 2 pt shots getting blocked
-327th in giving up offensive rebounds, with opponents rebounding 38.8% of their missed shots
-295th in forcing turnovers
-350th in opponent free throw shooting, with them hitting 81% at the stripe, and LUC is 200th in how many times they send the other teams to the line

None of this is surprising if you've watched the games -- defense is a wispy-thin slide of swiss cheese, and our guys get completely dominated around the rim. But it's notable just how bad we are, close to the bottom of division 1 in these, and we've got a roster full of 4-stars, 3-stars, and high-major transfers.
