Even with Dixon this year W&M wasn't a great defensive team. They don't have to be great given their offense- they just have to give a respectable effort. In their conference losses, every team shot at least 40% from 3. The only loss this year where the opponent didn't do well from beyond the arc was against High Point. In 4 of their 6 conference losses their opponents shot over 50% from the field. So far in the tourney they've been better at least on the eyeball test. They handled Elon, and while Hofstra put up points I don't think the defense was awful.
