So on looking at Mizzou's stats, three things jump out.

1. They box out like crazy, 7th nationally this year in defensive rebound percentage (out of 345 teams).

2. They take care of the basketball. 15th in turnover percentage.

3. Their defensive FG% is only average: 34.8% from 3, 48.9% from 2.

This last was a disappointment when I first saw it, as I think you can't win if you won't guard.

But on closer look, their starting wings/guards went 6-1, 6-3, 6-3. In 2007, Tennessee started 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, and allowed a 3-point percentage of 34.8% (identical to Mizzou State's this year, incidentally). Tennessee's defensive 3-point percentage was hellacious in 2010, granted--but that year we started 6-3 at point, and 6-7 on both wings. No wonder nobody could shoot over us.

Mizzou State's defensive 2-point percentage of 48.9% was accomplished with 6-6 at PF and 6-9 at center. Tennessee under Pearl only beat that number twice: in 2010, with 6-9 PF and 6-10 Center (45.7%), and 2011, with 6-8 and 6-10 (46.8%). All Pearl's other years saw 2-point FG% allowed of 50% and up.

His defensive FG% isn't exactly otherworldly at Mizz. St., but he's putting up good numbers considering the short team he's trotting out there.

And 7th nationally in defensive rebound percentage, with that height? Impressive.

I'm warming up to this guy. I want to see actual defense on the actual floor, and I want to see recruiting, but I don't hate the numbers.

So if they box out like crazy do they allow, did Mizzou State allow alot of transition baskets?

Great post step cross.

To whoever complained about the 3s when they played TN, did you want them to feed the post more so TN could set a single game blocks record? Did you watch the game?

I'm not so sure about any shot blocking records, but the point is Tennessee started 6-8 and 6-10 in the post, with plenty of height behind that (not to mention 6-7 and 6-6 on the wings).

Mo State started 6-6 and 6-9 in the post, 6-3 on the wings.

They weren't going to beat us in the post. Mid majors COULD beat us with the long ball, as a couple later proved.
