While it is still early - it is still interesting to note where we stack up nationally in some Key statistical categories thru 6 games. Here are a few I found of interest and reflective of great play and great coaching.
1. Scoring Defense - currently sitting at Number 1 in the country in scoring defense.
2. Field goal percentage defense -- 10 th in the country.
3. Assist to turnover ratio -- 11 th in the country - Gonzaga is 12th.
4. Turnover margin -- 9th in the country.
5. Free throw percentage -- 13th in the country. Colorado is first.
It will be interesting to follow all of these categories as the season progresses, but it reflects a well disciplined and well coached team. A team that shoots well and values and handles the basketball. A team that values and
appreciates the importance of playing defense and a team who will ferociously defend their basket. If we are any where close to these numbers at year end it will be a remarkable season.
