Big East Scoring Differential

[jmayer1]

Edited to include only Big East Games. 

I was perusing some stats last night and found this little tidbit to be interesting:  After the win at 'Nova, Marquette is third in the Big East in conference scoring differential behind Louisville and G-Town

Team Louisville Georgetown Marquette West Virginia Notre Dame Connecticut Pittsburgh Syracuse Cincinnati Villanova DePaul Seton Hall Providence South Florida St. John's Rutgers

W 12 12 11 8 11 10 7 7 8 7 5 6 4 2 4 2

L 3 3 5 6 3 4 7 8 6 8 9 8 11 12 10 13

PF 1072 999 1190 945 1130 1033 955 1077 898 1046 957 1019 1036 896 816 892

PA 911 884 1075 875 1068 988 919 1075 906 1055 1014 1085 1107 992 928 1079

Diff 10.73 7.67 7.19 5.00 4.43 3.21 2.57 0.13 -0.57 -0.60 -4.07 -4.71 -4.73 -6.86 -8.00 -12.47

There are a lot of stat guys who believe point differential is one of the most important statistical indicators of a team's true ability, so hopefully this bodes well for the team the rest of the way.

Is this including non-conference? I'd take it much more seriously if it was only Big East games included.

It's an "if" and "but".....but I'll say it anyhow...

Take the two games against UL away, and we'd be at the top of that list.  I hate UL
