The Colonels (3-4) have yet to beat a Division 1 team this year and have lost each of their four games by more than 12 points (average defeat - 30 points).
They are the worst team in the nation in eFG%* (62%) and fourth worst in terms of offensive eFG% (39.5%). Opponents have converted 66% (!!!!!) of their 3s vs. the Colonels. If the Ponies continue to shoot effectively from downtown, this one should be over very quickly.
Note: eFG% is a metric used that is similar to Field Goal Percentage, but adds an additional parameter. This parameter adjusts for the fact that 3-point field goals are worth 50 percent more than 2-point field goals. eFG% = (FGM + (0.5 x 3PTM)) / FGA

Hope we gt out to a big lead so Barefield and Wilfong can get significant minutes in several of the next couple of games. Playing 4 games in 7 days with travel and 2 back to backs means we need to manage minutes to keep everyone fresh.

Yikes, with stats like that the Colonel might be looking at a demotion to Major. Hope this one is over quickly and that Wilfong and Barefield get good minutes.
