His team last year shot the ball well (52.8%), and also defended well (39.3%). They shot the 3PT well (39%) and defended it well (31.3%). They had a good rebounding margin (6.1). They had an excellent A/TO ratio (1.46). They and their opponents averaged 148 points per game between them. These were conference games only.
2013-2014 stats. Shot 46% and allowed 40%. Shot 33.7% 3PT and allowed 34.1%. Had 3.6 rebounding margin. Had -0.5 turnover margin and A/TO of 0.9. They and their opponents averaged 142 point/game between them.
So last year was definitely better than the year before. But the constant seems to be that they play tough defense and hit the boards. They played at a somewhat faster pace than this past year's version of the Trojans did (139.5 combined points). In fact, this past year's version of Angelo played at a faster pace than all the SBC teams. Granted that they were facing a considerably poorer defense than what SBC teams do, still that indicates that Coach Beard's teams get up and down the floor, which probably will make most folks happy.
