We can see it with our eyes how good this defense is, but the statistics are off the charts. Here are our rankings among B1G teams:

#1 in points allowed per game at 54.9

#2 in FGs allowed per game at 19.6 (NW is #1 at 19.5)

#2 in FG% defense at 36.6% (NW is #1 at 36.3%)

#1 in 3-pt FG% defense at 25.7%

#2 in 3-pt FGs allowed at 5.9 (MD is #1 at 5.2)

#1 in steals per game at 10.2

#1 in turnovers caused per game at 17.2

I haven’t looked this up, but we’ve also held almost all of our opponents to several ppg less than their season averages.

Pretty astounding statistics.

so basically they’re us, except the offense is more top heavy and their defense is a lot worse
