Title: Big East Stats
Post by: geps on December 01, 2015, 06:07:10 PM: Looking at current BE team stats/rankings:

Surprised:
2nd in steals
5th in FG % defense
5th in FG % offense
6th in 3pt FG % defense
3rd in assists

Not surprised:
Last in TO margin
Last in Scoring defense(interesting since % is not that bad)
Last 3pt % offense

But overall better than last year and better defensively than you would think.

There are some problems with the statistics you're looking at and comparisons you're trying to make.

Please explain.

Need tempo free like Pomeroy does. Also need to consider def reb %, foul rate, def turn over rate along with fg% defense. Pomeroy breaks it down well.

Part of the scoring defense issue results from the TO margin, which gives the other team more possessions.
