That 2013-2014 team was a unique team for us. It was a stellar defensive team and a mediocre offensive team. SU was rated Top 20 nationally in a number of defensive stats - fewest turnovers/gm (#5), scoring defense (#8), steals/gm (#18), personal fouls/gm (#13) and Top 40 in strength of schedule (#26), off. rebounds (#30), scoring margin (#35), asst/to (#37), blocked shots(#39). We held teams to only 59 points/gm while scoring an average of 68 points. If you were looking for a dynamic offense, that wasn’t our year but if you appreciate great defense, we excelled. You’re correct about the Dayton game, we were bad that game scoring 15 points below our average. Jerami fouled out and was pretty much a non factor, we were horrible from 3 (0-10).  Our average scoring margin per game for the season was 9 points, being ranked so well nationally doesn’t point to a mediocre team. Against Dayton, we definitely did well enough defensively to win but our mediocre offense, really bottomed out that game - amazing that the game was that close with SU only scoring 53 points.
