I must admit I’m pretty critical of our team’s shooting sometimes, so this stat shocked me:

Montana happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked 347th in offensive field goal attempt rate vs. an Average Opponent.
Average opponent is a calculation he uses to be able to judge every team against the same criteria.

Yeah. In our perpetual never-ending old-school "search for the better shot" we wind up stifling our good shooters by not shooting enough shots! Especially from downtown.
Exhibit A: All the times we hit that three to five minute "drought," where we just can't put the damned ball in the basket. It's cost us many a game.
I don't now how anybody on this board could have watched the NCAA tournament and not have seen how fuddy-duddy our offense is, especially compared to the top teams.

Maybe the 50's style of offense is coming back.
Could we get Alabama Griz to see how our fast break stats compare to the rest of the country.
