2 > UTPB ranks 39th nationally and 4th in the Lone Star Conference for assist/turnover ratio with a value of 1.01. This indicates strong decision-making and ball control for the team, though they still trail conference leader Lubbock Christian (1.16) and national leader Colorado Mesa (1.48).

3 > UTPB's three-point shooting is a notable strength, ranking 27^th nationally for three-pointers per game with 8.0. This high volume of three-point attempts is second in the conference, trailing only UT Tyler (9.0), and highlights their offensive versatility with Taysha Rushton ranking second in the LSC with 2.58 three-pointers per game.
