Those are bad records, no doubt. I agree that the defense has major holes. However, I'll play devils advocate.
#7 in the country in turnovers forced, #1 in Big10
#1 in Big10 in steals
#1 in Big10 in opponent turnovers per possession, 22.7%. That's the best of any Big10 team in the past 8 seasons.
#21 in the country in opponent assist to turnover ratio
#38 in the country in offensive rebounding pg, which in all fairness is impressive considering our size problem
Yes, lots of problems to address and I get why people don't like the product. You have to give credit where credits due though. Underwood has established a defensive identity in year 1.
It’s the offense that I’m concerned about. It seems like BU has gotten in each players head at different times of the season making them afraid to shoot for fear of getting a quick hook. Seems to leave many of them looking over their shoulder getting ready to be subbed out if they throw up a shot deemed unacceptable, or miss a layup, or a defensive assignment, etc. I think this caused them to play tight instead of loose. Frasier was the exception but in most other cases. . . . . . Maybe another year in the system will allow them to not play with fear.
