That ranks 336th in the country. There are 358 teams. UAB is not much better at 26.6%, which ranks 270th.

SLU has only one player to make more than ten 3-pointers so far this season - Gibson Jimerson is 12-33 (0.364). UAB has two players - Walker 20-43 and Johnson 11-26.

On the flip side, SLU’s free throw points account for 26.0% of their total points. That ranks 4th best in the country! They go to the charity stripe a lot, and they make them! Their team free throw percentage is 76.5%, which is 45th. UAB shoots free throws at a 71.3% rate.

In SLU’s recent OT victory over Boise State, they made 30 of 34 free throw attempts. Boise State made 12-26. SLU won the game at the free throw line!

That top paragraph bodes well for us.

Any TV for this game vs SLU?

Trade Lovan’s defense out the gate for some more offense. Maybe keeps from such a slow start

Walker killing us

And now we are a buy game for Saint Louis.

Not rotating well on defense. Better offensive start at least. I see why Buffen doesn’t shoot threes now, yuck. Walker is either outstanding or a liability.

Probably the best start we’ve had among the quality teams we’ve played. At least on offense.

We’re turning it over….

Surprisingly our defense is letting us down in this game so far

Open threes galore

They’ve only made 4 threes, but it feels like they’ve made 12.

I wish they would stop letting quan take 3s

Agreed. Great dunk right now though. But yeah he's shooting them way too often for him to not be making them.

Got to like how we've been on offensive overall so far. Just have to stop providing so many open 3s on defense.

Definitely SLU homer ESPN+ commentators today, but we have Mo Finley for our ESPN+ home games, so I can't complain.

I don't know if this is true but it just seems like we can never finish the and 1.

It wouldnt be UAB hoops if we aren’t allowing someone to shoot beyond their perceived ability from 3

Our defense is getting shredded. Open threes or poor rotations resulting in easy layups or post shots
