Shooting has fueled women’s basketball through Big East tourney bouts

The Seton Hall women’s basketball team could not have picked a more opportune time to begin playing their best basketball of the season.

The squad ventured to Chicago for the Big East conference’s annual culminating tournament and gave No. 5 seeded Butler a bonafide thrashing before falling to reigning champ DePaul in a one-possession 83-80 slugfest.

Winning is not the only stat that should matter, though. So, where does the bright spot exist for a team that made an early round exit?

Eye-test connoisseurs may write off the final few games of the team’s campaign as mere disappointment, but a deeper look inside the numbers reveals an upward trend that far surpasses anything they’ve seen on the year thus far.
