UNCG By the Numbers - Part 2

On to defense ...

Thoughts
I guess it doesn't take a math genius to see that UNCG is playing better defense in it's wins than losses. However, it's a pretty staggering difference in percentages. If they can stay closer to the 35% mark that they are allowing in their 2 wins, UNCG should see a lot more W's than L's going forward.

Thoughts
Pretty much the same story as with FG shooting. If UNCG can hold teams to less than 5 made 3's per game, they will be in better shape.

Thoughts
UNCG is allowing way too many free throw attempts overall and then teams have definitely been taking advantage of those attempts. I suspect when I look at foul numbers I'll see similar numbers, but I'll wait till part 4 to do the real comparisons.

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

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

Losses

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.

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.
