Stats comparison - last year to this year.

I took a moment to scrape the Pac-12 site for team stats for the last two years.  Not surprisingly, most of the stats are pretty similar.  Last year's team was slightly more dominant in the scoring margin, due to a few more blocked shots (thank you, Miss Hamblin).

For those sting wringing their hands over the turnover situation . . . this team actually turns the ball over less than last year's team, and has a few more assists.

One thing that stings me - attendance is down by about 300 per game.  Part of that would be the lack of a marquis non-league game on the schedule, and we still have the Bay Area schools coming this weekend.  But you would think that as the team continues to succeed that it would pick up new fans.
