So, I've been reviewing Ken Poms stats a lot today, and I thought it would be interesting to look at this year's team v. last season, and see where, statistically at least, the improvement has come from.
Note: the number in parenthesis is SJU's national rank in that category.
Offense 2014 2015
Effective FG%: 48.7 /(211) 49.2 /(149)
Turnover %: 15.6 /(29) 17.1 /(43)
Off. Reb. %: 31.1 /(180) 28.8 /(246)
FTA/FGA: 37.1 /(263) 42.4 /(84)
3P%: 34.9/ (145) 31.3 /(230)
2P%: 47.6 /(215) 50.2 /(97)
FT%: 69.9 /(178) 69.1 /(157)
The first things that pop out at me are that we're shooting slightly better than last season, and getting to the free throw line a lot more often.
But by and large, this is a similar team offensively.
