We’ll likely do a full study hall tomorrow, but I wanted to take the a different approach here and keep the “Pourover” for the Sunday column intact, at least for now. Make this less about stats, and more about the “intangibles”.
Statistics are a great way to help you tell a story about a game, or a run, or a season. And those same statistics can tell you why Missouri has largely been a poor basketball team so far. Like they’re 354th in 3-point percentage, and 339th in the ‘non-steal turnover percentage list (basically unforced errors). So they don’t shoot the ball particularly well, they turn the ball over too often, and on top of that the defense has been leaky, giving up an effective field goal percentage over 52%.
