A look so far this season:
At home:
Radford: 8/23 34.8%
Murray State: 8/19 42.1%
Gardner Webb 9/30 30%
WVU 10/27 37%
VMI 12/28 42% 4/4 from JDG 8/24 33% w/o
47/127=37%
Neutral
LSU 7/24 29.2%
WISC 5/23 21.7%
12/47=25.5
Road
OSU 8/24 33.3% vs
Miss State 8/26 30.8%
VT 6/28 21.4%
22/78=28.2%
So is the lower road/neutral due to loss of Dunn, versus just lack of familiarity/hostile environments, versus better defense from power opponents? A lot of questions to be answered, but GDG 2/20 and Ish 5/27 are in massive slumps. Regression to the mean can happen. Lowe also started slow from 3 last year and is still below his ACC average, which was quite higher. Delalic needs to get shots, but doesn’t want to shoot over people/contested shots. Austin has performed above historical average, so hopefully there isn’t too much drop off.
But this goes to show, having a more balanced front court can offset loss of Hinson. 4-2 vs power opponents so far with all but VT likely tourney/bubble teams.
