I have shaded the higher relevant stats in green. Note that most of the differences are statistically insignificant.
Key areas of difference are:
1) WLU has 11 more possessions per game
2) WLU has a big edge in offensive rebounding efficiency
3) WLU shoots more threes, leading to 8% great offensive efficiency
4) WLU averages 1.27 Points per possession (PPP) versus an outstanding 1.16 PPP for Malone
Key factors will be:
1) Can WLU speed up Malone?
2) Can WLU force turnovers against a team that does not turn the ball over in a half court game?
3) Can WLU defend rapid ball movement and excellent shot selection of Malone?
4) Is WLU shooting over 40% from three?
5) Can WLU control the boards, especially the offensive glass?
It should be a challenging game.
