OFFENSE
259th in adjusted offensive efficiency .997 points per possession
331st in effective FG% 44.5%
278th in TO% 20.5% of possessions terminate in a turnover

28.5% 3pt % 343rd (out of 351)
45.1% FROM 2 300TH
63.0% ft 331ST
12.2 % block percentage 325th 12.2% of our attempts get swatted, even more glaring based on lack of 3s attempted

7th in OREB 39.0%!!!

As we all know the shooting numbers are horrid across the board, long, short and free.

DEFENSE
50th in adjusted defenive efficiency .969 points allowed per possession

45.3% effective FG% 22nd!!!
def rebounding 70.7% just 158th (we OREB, but not DREB)
opp shoot 31.9% from 3 61st
43.7% from 2 31st
74.3% from the line!?! 333rd or flip it 18th best
we block 15.3% of FGA 11th

One stat we are #1 in the nation.......62.4% of our points come from made 2 point FGs.

I find it crazy we get so many of our shots blocked, but we block so many other peoples shots. If you like watching blocked shots just come to a Rutgers game.

Our defense is at where it needs to be. Just need to improve our offense...A TON

Would be interesting to see how those numbers compare to last year. If I had to pick which side to improve after the end of last year it would have been defense.

All aspects of Rutgers offense is abysmal which ultimately translates to the inability to score in the 70 point range which is needed to win league games.Everybody knows there is a dire need for shooters but getting them to commit to Rutgers is the hard part.

last year the offense was worse. I think the slight improvement in offense is all because of offensive rebounding. Last year we were 303rd in offensive efficiency .963 points per possession.

The best thing I can say about defense last year is our opponent only shot 68.3% from the line.
