Welcome to the second installment of key statistics from the previous week of Xavier basketball. Since there was only one game last week, the loss to Wisconsin, I will also look at the trends that have surfaced so far.
45.8/20.8/56.3
This was Xavier’s shooting line as a team. While the 45.8% from the field isn’t that bad, the 20.4% from three and 56.3% from the free throw line are abysmal. This particularly true given the team shoot 24 threes and 16 free throws.
In that kind of volume, the percentages for both have to be better.
