[Paint Touches] 4 Stats to Explain Marquette’s Season

[PaintTouches]

To be honest I just needed a catchy way to get as many stats into a cohesive package, so there are like 20 stats in here, but you get the gist.

This chart in particular deserves extra attention.

Interesting.  Thank you.

The one chart shows why Shaka stays with his starters down the stretch.  And why, as good as they are and as much upside as they have, and as much as they need to play for several reasons, the splits are worse with the freshmen in the game.

This is really interesting.  Thanks for all the time put into this. Much appreciated.

They're good as a change up, but you can't run with them long.

Yes.  And I expect they will get better.

I hope so.  The BE doesn't hide secrets for long.

Why I think that Wrightsil will matter by season's end.

Good stuff, mex.

Hmm...keep us out of the paint we lose. We have no mid range offense which might be our achilles heal. That is what the offensive stats are saying to me so far. So when Stevie, Chase and Sean are in the game we give up offense, but do they make up for it in defense?

Play Ben more. We're +5 when he is on the court.

They don't want a mid range offense.  Threes and at the rim.

That tells you something about +/- as a statistic more than it does Ben Gold.
