opponents fg percentage in the last 2 minutes?

**cyclones12321** · 03-03-2013, 05:25 PM

Was curious if there was a stat out there for this. Seems as every team we play can throw up a half court shot and swish it against us in the last minute of the game. I'm guessing around 75 percent

Better yet- 3 point percentage.

how about desperation 3 point shots from 25 feet or more?

Do we want a #, or we ok with "way too high?"

**gogagig** · 03-03-2013, 05:45 PM

how about desperation shots when the shot clock is running out (at any point in the game)

**dualthreat** · 03-03-2013, 05:45 PM

i think i saw 100%

might have to double check, though

I have been following on this site for a few years now and this thread got me interested to actually do some research. So after some research, these are the numbers I came up with for FG% during conference play:

Opponent FG% 49%
Opponent 3FG% 44.4%
ISU FG% 47.7%
ISU 3FG% 25%

I also broke it down into "At Hilton" and "On the Road":

Opponents at Hilton: FG% 45.2% 3FG% 47%
ISU at Hilton: FG% 38.9% 3FG% 25%

Opponents "On Road": FG% 68.2% 3FG% 40%
ISU "On Road": FG% 53.8% 3FG% 25%

I hope we are shooting better than 25% threes both home and away.

And then there are free throws.

I'm assuming he means in the last 2 minutes.

Yeah, those numbers are for the last 2 minutes of regulation during conference play.

I know that last Monday against Kansas, starting at the 1:40 mark through the first part of OT Kansas scored on 8 straight possessions - 4 of these 3-pointers. 20 points in 8 possessions.

I realize that Kansas was scoring towards the end of the game on Monday, but I actually thought that we played some of our better defense then. We required them to use a lot of clock towards the end.
