I have not seen them play. Maybe someone has? Maybe a bit like St. John's in terms of style, but St. John's has more dynamic guards who pop 3PTers.
I took a look at their KenPom profile and noticed the following. The rankings are split by their national standing for all games play and their conference-only mark.
*Pretty good tempo (95th)
*Deep (51st in bench minutes) and experienced (18th)
*Average height
Defense
*Seems to be a harrassing type of defense that relies on individual playmaking
*96th in Defensive Efficiency
*Seemingly good athleticism (37th in blocked shot rate, 37th in steals), but just 186th in turnover %
*Weak defensive rebounding (326th in opponent offensive rebounding %)
*Foul prone (which may correspond to the rebounding issue/positioning)
*In SEC play, they were near the bottom overall defense, particularly 2PT defense and defensive rebounding
Offense
*Seems to be a style that predominantly looks to attack the rim versus an offense that moves the ball around and takes jumpshots
*129th in 2PT%, 84th in % of points from 2PT shots
*105 in 3PT%, but just 314th in 3PA:FGA and 309th in % of points from 3
*216th in A:FGM
*26th in Offensive Efficiency
*25th in FT% and 79th in FTA:FGA
*44th in turnover %
*69th in offensive rebounding %
*In SEC play, they were near the top of the conference in overall offense and playing true to this flow by attacking the rim and shooting a good 3, but not prolific in shooting it. Makes sense. They had the best offensive turnover % in the league.
