We all know this supposed great defense we have is bunk because we get toasted on open 3's and offensive rebounds. But would be nice to see a stat of defense points per possession allowed to quantify what we see. Can anyone find this?
Can anyone find defensive points per possession stats?

We force more turnovers than anybody in the county but that doesn’t make it a great defense. For the reasons you mention we rank in the 90s in defensive efficiency.

Must be different formulas. KenPom prob better.
Either way we aren’t very efficient
KenPom adjusts theirs to take into consideration the opponents' offensive efficiency.
If one team has ball 4 times and scores 6 points the points per posession is 1.5.
That is a true measure as everything would be considered. Like offensive rebounds turning into points.
Rebounding is the thing really killing us. I know coach likes the d of Lrod and Ike. But their rebounding stats are bad. Only way small ball works is to have lots of guys who can rebound. We do not have that.
