By virtually any measure, Providence’s offense was subpar in 2018-19. The Friars were the only Big East team to average under 70 points per game in conference play (68.7), and they finished last in the conference in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, and 3-point field goal percentage in league games.
The advanced numbers aren’t any prettier. PC finished in the 31st percentile nationally in spot up scoring, 28th in transition offense, 35th in scoring off of screens, and got virtually nothing out of isolation and pick and roll ball handler scoring, where they finished in the 14th and 3rd percentile of all D1 teams last year.
