[QUOTE="lstewart53x3, post: 2025202, member: 10313"] For evidence of this. Earlier this year Minnesota played UTSA. Minnesota scored 102 points. It’s the most points they’ve scored all year. UTSA has one of the worst defenses in all of college basketball ranked 345 KenPom (out of 362 teams). In that game, Minnesota shot 48% from 3 (14-29). Had Minnesota shot 48% from 3 against us, we would have won this game by 24. Minnesota’s next game could be against Holy Cross, the worst defense in all of college basketball, and they wouldn’t shoot 74% from 3. That was the best offensive performance by Minnesota in the KenPom era. Are we the worst defense Minnesota has played in 25 years? No, that was an insane heater that Minnesota likely won’t replicate for the next 20 years, even against sub 300 level defenses. And WE WON. Wild. [/QUOTE]
