Kenpom and every other metric begs to differ. But you’re right I’m sure your eye test and analysis is correct and they are wrong.
With the whole 4 games we've played, 1 against a p4 team, which we lost and gave up almost 100 to?

Yea, you really got me there.

U know......I'm a big believer that if you want to play well 3 pt FG defense, running them off the 3 point line is more important than the %.

Last year and this year under Pope teams shoot a crazy number of 3s against us. Even Michigan St who while they don't hit a bunch ......also normally does not take a bunch.

The fact that they are taking them to me is more signficiant than the actual crazy % they are hitting at.

Garrison is gonna be this years "I hope he picks up fouls so he has to sit" kind of player. We seem to have one of those every year recently.

Pope has clearly asked the guys to trap post. Trying to force turnovers and speed up the game
Yep. MSU, statistically at least, is a horrible 3-pt shooting team. Far more dangerous in the post. Pope obviously told guys to double the post against certain guys. Unfortunately MSU looks like an offensive juggernaut and is not playing like they have in other games.
