Xavier does a lot of things well on offense this year. Their three point shooting has improved to 35.4%, in the top 100 in the nation. Inside the arc they are comfortably inside the top 50. They generally shoot the ball well, take care of the ball well, and are sixth in the nation in assists per made field goal. That’s the basis of a good offense. Why, then, is Xavier only 42nd in the nation in offensive efficiency?
The one thing Xavier doesn’t do well is rather vital to the game of basketball. X neither gets to the line often, nor executes well when they do.
