31% for our opponents is historically among the worse. Last two years, they shot 35% and 34%
Whoa, that's a surprising stat.
Not really. Opponents maybe shooting 31% from 3 pt land against UAB but it isn't because of the Blazers defense.
I would suggest the problem in the losses are generally three-fold: good 3pt shooting by opponents, bad 3pt shooting and bad FT shooting by UAB. Below are some recent losses indicating the opponent's 3pt shooting and our FT and 3pt shooting. Note than many of those missed FTs were the front ends of 1-and-1's...
