Its pretty amazing that UT can have 6 Top 100 HS players (2 Top 50) and be this bad offensively. Shooting 44% on the year with an efficiency of .95 PPP is terrible for that kind of talent. I know losing Kabongo hurt, but man.
The Big 12 in general has some pretty terrible shooting (eFG%) teams; WV at 43%, UT at 44%, TCU at 45.4%, K-State at 45.7%, and OU at 46.5% (NCAA ave is 48.3%). OU and us (and WVU to an extent) make up for it by oboarding and not turning it over to have decent inefficiency numbers on offense.
Barnes does have his team playing defense, holding teams to .85 PPP and a ridiculous 36.8% eFG%.
Our game at WVU Saturday looks like a "first to 60" type of game and it looks like there could be quite a few of those this year in the Big 12.
