James vs Jones

Everything is a guess until it becomes a fact.  Knowledge is always past tense.  My guess is that Owwens isn't playing because he either can't or won't buy into Smarts thnking.  Regarless about what you think about MU's offense, they are scoring enough points to win games.  Defense seems to be the real issue and Owens has never presented as wantng to play defense.  I only surmise that Norman would leave because there seems no place for him to spread his wings at MU any longer.  15 players on a roster is a lot of players, I would not recind his schalorship but he may just choose to go.

Marquette's offense is ranked 118 out of 300 or so teams. That's pretty bad.

They had a top 10 offense three years ago, and top 35 the last two seasons.

The defense isn't great either (82nd) but it's higher ranked than the offense.

Where can we get plus minus stats for every game? 

Real sports app on your phone has it.

The average score for teams in the NCAA last season was around 80 points.  MU averages about 81, thus they score enough points to win games.  The key would be to not allow 82,thus more defense is required.

Any points per game discussion without talking about the number of possessions is kind of useless. Marquette plays faster than most so they are going to have more chances to score...but so will the other team.
