Stat of the day: PPG allowed at a 30 yr low

[TR32]

At 74.5, the current points per game allowed by this Indiana basketball team is the highest since 1994. Before that it was 1971.

Interestingly, both of those teams were solid, but with an accompanying poor shooting team this year,Indiana is unable to win games where it gives up high scoring, and is facing lows in defense not seen in a long time.

Another stat worth monitoring is total losses on the season. This year is shaping up a lot like Tom Crean's final year.

After giving up 50 in the first half to Nebraska, the PPG allowed will only get worse.
