Just looking at the season stats... Out of 351 teams, we finished:

230th in PPG, 29th in PPG defense

This could be explained by our "run the clock down in order to minimize possessions" style.  So obviously the gameplan is to to limit possessions, keep both teams from scoring.  But to win, you need to be efficient with the limited offensive possessions you have.  Let's see how we did.

261st in FG %
230th in 3pt FG %
308th in Points Per Shot

Ok, so we're not hitting the shots, and as a result, we're only netting out on 1.15 pts per shot.  Not ideal.  How about "extra opportunities":

312th in steals
262nd in FT %
6th in RPG

I think this shows how crucial rebounding was to us winning games this year.  Once we got out-rebounded, we were cooked.

Something to consider is that these numbers are inflated by games against Maine/UMBC/Bing...  Forget FT's, start working on ANY type of shooting.

Thanks for showing those stats Jaghatai... These numbers are horrendous. Nothing else to say!!!!
