Stat gurus of MUScoop...if you have the free time, how has MU's defensive effeciency been trending the past few games?
From an eye test standpoint, it seems to have increased with the emergence of Chris Otule. One of our biggest weaknesses was allowing teams to get easy buckets, but the more and more CO2 plays, the more shots he blocks and alters. It felt like he had his hand up for everything that was within 5 feet of the bucket and it really bothered Providence.
Is there any statistical evidence to support my completely untrained eye observation?

Ha, thanks for the link, I usually read CS but did not catch that one this weekend.
Here I thought I actually had a bit of insight for once - nope, late to the party as usual.
