Here is just a stat line from this weekend's games that I found interesting. Both MSU and Purdue are elite 3-point shooting teams. Based on Kenpom's numbers, both teams shot over 40% as teams for the year, which put both teams in the Top 6 Nationally. Yet, MSU and Purdue combined to shoot only 11-43 (25.6%) against the Wolverines from 3.
Also of note is that percentage-wise Michigan's 3-pt defense is not statistically that good. It is 34%, which is ranked #129th in the country and in Big Ten play, it is 11th out of the 14 teams. With Michigan current cocky, on a hot streak, and having to sit out for 2 weeks, the phrase "regression to the mean" comes to mind.
Just a little reality check.
