And some of us don't need a stat to tell us that slowing it down and running a slow halfcourt offense cost us a W against Xavier.

You only say that because that is what you want to see/believe.

I say we lost that game because we played atrocious in the first half and shot terrible from the line.

So 30-16 when between 60-70.


One more for me good sir.

I'm done with the calculations. Basically, what they've shown so far is that when CCM hits his current average possessions or in that ballpark, he wins far more than he loses.

When he slows it down or speeds it up too much (basically when he lets another team dictate a fast or uber slow pace) he doesn't do as well.

Bingo.

So when he plays his pace, and his defense plays well we have a much better record than when we speed up and let it cost us on defense.

Thank you.

I assume you included the OT games in your figures which I did not since that changes the data??

Okay, so the average amount of possessions in the NCAA in 2012 and 2013 was roughly 66. I left out OT games because they didn't fit.

In games of 66 or less posessions:

2012- 11 win; 5 losses.
2013- 17 wins; 8 losses.
Total- 28 wins; 13 losses.

In games of more than 66 possessions:

2012- 7 wins; 7 losses.
2013- 3 wins; 5 losses.
Total- 10 wins; 12 losses.

I didn't include any OT games. Those games were essentially draws at the end of regulation no matter how many possessions there were.

I missed that.

If we see that the average possessions in losses is the same as all games, then that will prove alot.

Give us that canes??

Bull****. Why do you think we played atrocious? It goes hand in hand. Sorry you can't see it.

It looked to me like we came out and played with jitters. Jordan even said something similar in post game interview.

Missing layups and free throws is why we only scored 20 in the first half IMO. I know you don't want to believe that. You've spent two days telling everyone how much you know about basketball.

Well this knocks a hole in your theory...

Average possessions per games in wins: 63.86

Average possessions per game in losses:
65.29

It sure does!

If that's correct info for all games in 2 years excluding OT games then I concede



Edit:
Wait a minute I thought we averaged 66possessions per game????

Something is very fishy

Maybe the OT games with possesions in the upper 80s bumped it up a bit?

You're welcome to run the numbers yourself if you'd like, but it's pretty clear that these numbers don't reflect yours.

Show me where to find them and I would love to.

We averaged 67.6 in 2011 and 65.9 last year.

Mathematically impossible to have both winning and losing lower but nice try

Did you miss the part about overtime games being omitted? Those games with almost 90 possessions that I left out probably bumped the average a bit.

You're wrong, give up.

I have only had time to look at last years losses. I will do the rest later tonight.

Here's the numbers:

53
55
56
58
61
61
62
64
67
68
69
69
76

Average of 63. 3possesions less than our seasons average

That's 8of13 losses games that were under our seasons average pace wise.
