The stat that matters is points per possession

We are great in that stat, but not as bad as points per game.

Good point. We work pretty fast which gives the other team more shots as well.

BYU's style of play definitely contributes to more possessions which means more

It only matters if we start getting a large lead, otherwise, if we are shooting

So a final score of 0-0 is a great game?

interesting that defense for both byu football and bball have the same problem

Also interesting that one of the coaches is "defensive minded"

If you want an accurate measure of how good a team's O or D is, look at kenpom

It doesn't matter if BYU gives up a lot of points, as long as they score more
