Through ten games, the Virginia Cavaliers are shooting 48.6% from the field, which is good for 57th out of 351 schools in the country. Their offensive efficiency is ranked 31st so far, up from 50th at the end of last year and their eFG% had improved from 87th to 48th as well. UVA’s shot selection may be the key to this offensive resurgence at this point in the season.
Almost 35% of Virginia’s shot attempts have come from behind the arc. Meanwhile, 32% are from shots in the paint and 33% elsewhere from two-point range, as illustrated by the shot chart below:
Dedicating almost 35% of your shots to 3-pointers seems like a lot, but it actually ranks 241st in the country.
