Best defense in SEC, almost worst offense

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

At 58.8 ppg Tennessee has the best scoring D in the SEC.
#5 in the nation.
No other SEC team is even top 25 nationally, and only 4 teams are in top 50.

34. Georgia - 65.1 ppg
40/41. Florida/Ole Miss tied - 65.6 ppg
49. Auburn - 66.1 ppg

Despite how we played in the Vandy game, most of us probably aren't surprised we're doing as good as we are on D. I'm just surprised that that we are as high as we are with SEC being so good.

Offense on the other hand?

Almost dead last at 76.8 ppg.
Only South Carolina and Texas A&M are worse.
Nationally we are #130. 130 th!
(Alabama is #1 at 90.2 ppg)

With our defense, to be where we need to be
we need to average about 81 ppg ( @50th nationally).
It might just be the die hard fan in me, but I still think it's achievable.
What do you think?

Another thing that is interesting is that while Alabama has the best scoring offense in the SEC and in the Nation, they are last in the SEC and #320 nationally! Kentucky is similar.
( #2 offense SEC/#2 nationally /#291 defense)
Their fans are probably making a similar post about their Defense.

Just goes to show in college basketball good offense is definitely more valuable than a good defensive.

Average is skewed by the 43 point night at UF. We won't shoot 21% often.....probably won't do it again this season.

Rest of the games we are in the 70's to high 80's.

We are 22nd in offensive efficiency on KenPom. It adjusts for your opponent.

A 43 pt outing will do that to you

A 43 pt outing will do that to you

True, but we had a couple games close to
or over a 100 against the likes of Austin Peay that help straighten that out.
The thing about stats is as the year moves on,
they tend to paint a decently accurate picture of who you are.
