You could say rebounding or defense in general but IMO the main culprit is 3-Point Defense. We absolutely suck at defending the three. ( 269th in the Nation) Below are the team 3-point season percentage averages for each of our conference losses compared to the team percentage against us. You'll notice that the only team that failed to beat their team average was SJSU. Every other team beat the average. More than half by @ 15%. In our conference losses we allowed teams to shoot an astounding 44.5% from three. You almost couldn't roll the ball out and just let teams shoot without a defense and do worse. Amazing.
SJSU - 28.3 - 25
SDSU- 35.7 - 52
Boise - 37.2 - 53.8
C State - 37.2 - 43.8
FSU - 28.3 - 47.4
Utah State - 42.6 - 44.8
I don't expect this to get fixed. It's a team flaw that goes to the roots of the defensive scheme along with guard height and speed. I think he's catching on by pulling JJ ( way too short). But, IMO, it will plague KK wherever he coaches.
