[Paint Touches] Numbers to know as MU takes on NC State

P&R D, Post ups, Post up doubles. I've gotten lots of Qs about what the data says about NC State in these regards, so wanted to touch on them in one place.

And a very interesting, context-less quirk, for those that don't end up clicking the link.

Thank you.   I hope scoopers read all the way through, as you numerically answer several queations they are asking.

Really interesting analysis, as always. Will definitely be interesting to keep an eye on these matchups after seeing the numbers. Thank you.

Interesting. This article in the Athletic is also interesting and might explain why they were worse with DJ on the floor but likely will be much better with him on the floor this Friday.  Thanks for the research and post.
