I was looking at some team stats today.
Creighton has hit nearly 44% of their three-point shots, and they’ve attempted a whopping 495 of them in 19 games! They hit nearly 50 percent of all their FG attempts and over 75% of their FTs.
Iowa has taken only 288 three point attempts in 18 games, and their percentages on 2 pointers, 3 pointers, and FTs are below the marks for Creighton.
But...
Iowa is averaging 87 points a game and Creighton is getting only 83 points a game!
Iowa has been amazing in getting a lot of offensive possessions and being very efficient in scoring average per possession. It’s a tribute to their pushing the ball quickly off rebounds, making quick and long passes up court, getting pretty good shots early in the time clock, and getting to the FT line a whole lot. I love to watch the Hawkeyes play the fast game and make the defenders work really hard! Depth has a lot to do with it.
