UNCG By the Numbers - Part 1

Since the season has reached a natural break point, I thought it would be a good time to look as some statistics and draw some conclusions from the numbers. The first installment will look at some offensive numbers ...

FG Shooting
Overall
199-453 (43.9%)
Per Game
28.4-64.7

Home
147-334 (44.0%)
Per Game
29.4-66.8

Away
52-119 (43.7%)
Per Game
26-59.5

Wins
64-119 (53.8%)
Per Game
32-59.5

Losses
135-334 (40.4%)
Per Game
27-66.8

Thoughts
The only really thing that stands out here is that UNCG hasn't shot the ball particularly well overall. However, they have shot it very well in their 2 wins. 

3 Pt Shooting
Overall
62-179 (34.6%)
Per Game
8.8-25.1

Home
43-136 (31.6%)
Per Game
8.6-27.2

Away
19-43 (44.2%)
Per Game
9.5-21.5

Wins
20-47 (42.6%)
Per Game
10-23.5

Losses
42-132 (31.8%)
Per Game
8.4-26.4

Thoughts
The only way to look at this is that UNCG makes a lot of shots behind the arc. They make more and in better percentages in the wins than losses. But 8.6 made 3 pointers per game is a lot.

FT Shooting
Overall
91-138 (70.3%)
Per Game
13-19.7

Home
74-103 (71.8%)
Per Game
14.8-20.6

Away
23-35 (65.7%)
Per Game
11.5-17.5

Wins
17-22 (77.3%)
Per Game
8.5-11

Losses
80-116 (69.0%)
Per Game
16-23.2

Thoughts
All of these numbers are above average. UNCG is definitely an upper level team at shooting free throws. Without breaking down actual game tape, it hard to really use this stat for too much though. If you really wanted to get much deeper in depth, looking at free throw shooting in the final 2 minutes or in 1-and-1 situations. But still shooting above 70% is a good thing and should pay dividends throughout the season.

If you live by the three you die by the three. It would be nice to see more plays being ran getting a better shot selection. It would be nice to see an open back door layin once in a while not so many drives to the hoop with shots being put up surrounded by 4 guys.
