Hawkeye Practices

It's not just you, it's driving me nuts as well... I'm a numbers guy and hate looking at the shooting numbers this team has posted thus far.

FG% (42.0%) - 236th in the nation, 13th in the Big Ten
3P% (30.3%) - 272nd in the nation, 13th in the Big Ten
Effective FG% (47.0%) - 257th in the nation, 13th in the Big Ten
True Shooting % (51.7%) - 220th in the nation, 12th in the Big Ten

Note:
*Effective FG% includes that 3 point shots are worth more than 2 point shots in the formula.
*True Shooting % includes 2 point shots, 3 point shots, and FTs attempted and made in the formula.

Wow. Northwestern shoots better than Iowa. It's especially curious considering we are second in the Big Ten in FT shooting.

It is actually pretty remarkable that we are as good of a team as we are being this bad at shooting. People who complain about our defense, rebounding, or anything else for that matter are crazy. It's all about the shooting. Is there any possible way it can turn around?
