[QUOTE="Piotyr, post: 1569775, member: 747104"] They had a conference OPPP of 0.99 last year, better than the league average of 1.01, and better than the 1.05 through 3 games so far this year. Their overall adjusted defensive efficiency last year was 93.7 points per 100 possessions, good for 35th overall in the country (adjusted means for opponent, as KenPom does, so the number is effectively how they would defend an average D1 team). This year, so far, through 9 games, their adjusted defensive efficiency is 92.9, though good for only 47th in the country to this point. Their worst defensive efforts to this point were against Baylor, Rutgers and PSU, so the defensive issues have been very recent for the most part. However, Minnesota was their best defensive game so far this year against a real opponent (sorry, Chicago State), and that was just a week ago. Lost in the defensive malaise, though, is just how good the offense has been, 1.23 in conference play so far, and 1.16 adjusted overall, good for 5th in the country behind Iowa, Baylor, Gonzaga and Villanova.
