Defensive shooting percentage vs Purdue this year

[Mandeville LA]

Grabbed this off Twitter and the more I looked at it, the more questions I had. Would love to see this data parsed to a point that individual performance could become more visible. As a team, the team is doing very well at keeping opponents shooting percentage below average for college basketball. Does anything jump out to anyone else?

Ok, I feel stupid but I cannot figure out how to post the picture. Any suggestions?

You can usually right-click on an image and get the url for the image location..

As far as defense goes, you mean we are doing well despite not running the all stopping zone?

I think he means we're doing well in spite of Painter being so hard headed and inflexible and not being able to recruit. It's amazing we've even won a game so far.

Got it. For some reason it was giving me a lot of trouble. Yes, I believe this is without zone. Why you feel it would be better with? (tic)

Great graphic. Clearly though as siboiler2 pointed out, if CMP wasn't so stubborn we'd run zone and all of those numbers would be at 0 [tic].

I know I am stirring up trouble with that comment, but based on how the 'experts' on here came after those that disagreed with them, I felt it was warranted.

Looking at the data the team is doing a very good job of defending the right side of the 3pt line (looking at the basket) but not able to slide to the corner quick enough. I am guessing Painter get a lot of this type of stuff to analyze.

I'd be curious to see who is guarding the effective areas and who is guarding the other areas that fall off. Is it the same person? Or is someone just failing to switch off from time to time?

It's a very fascinating graphic really.

Also looks like we give up a higher percentage of shots coming into the left block. My guess is that is because Haarms is left handed. He has to use his right hand to block/alter shots on the left side or else his reach is shortened if he chooses to use his left.

Cool stuff!

Putting some trust in this data, but it would also suggest Haas is doing a better job on D than some give him credit for. Sometimes baseball hitters hit great pitches out of the park. As such, shots go down from time to time regardless of how good the D was.

This is glorious. Who is compiling the data?

Also.. confirmation that the mid range game is dead and buried in college basketball.

Purdue is one of a few teams in college basketball that shoots a higher percentage on three point shots than it allows on two point shots.

Chris retweeted the chart. Company called Krossover. The caption says “wondering why Purdue garnered at least one #1 vote this week? look no further than the Boilermaker’s defensive shot chart” they said first place votes so I fixed it for them.

 

[SqueakyClean]

I'd be really curious to see this chart and compare that to the percentages of some of the other top 10 teams.

This proves exactly what I have been saying for 2 years. Posters here have said that Haas is not athletic enough, does not have enough blocked shots, is not a rim protector and cannot guard his man - man on man. When Haas is in the game, the chart shows the opp shoot shots well below average within 7 feel of the basket. Those that do, shoot 46% and that includes lay ups and dunks. I also love Haarms and he gets a lot of blocks, but he is not quite as intimidating as Haas.

The other unsung hero is Vincent. Vincent played good D last year, but this year he is doing a much better job guarding his man, but also anticipating the pass to Haas' man when Haas goes to double team.

add in Vincent Edwards is also doing that while upping his effectiveness on the glass, defensively....up almost 2.5 rebounds a game from last year.

IDK if average those too spots it falls in line with the rest of the numbers probably just an anomaly

I’m guessing that the right corner jumper numbers being high is a result of dribble penetration pulling the right wing defender into the paint to help. I will step further out on this limb and suggest it is drives initiating from the left side of the floor curling into the lane forcing deeper help from our right wing from which he cannot recover.

My guess is teams just shoot better from the corner in general. But it definitely could be a result of how we play defense, even though the mid range numbers from the same side are ridiculously low.

Or a few guys have been very hot from there over a few games. It’s tough to say without the background data.

Well, another comparison would be if we have the same chart for the offensive end. That would be nice.

Also, the same chart from the last two years would be interesting to see how the rim protection altered shot selections from opponents (with and without AJ).

I am pretty sure that is what this Krossover company does, but you have to pay for it. They will break down any game film and provide detailed stats.

Yep. It’s a pretty skinny limb. If you would simply post video from all opponent shots from that location we could solve this important mystery.
