Statistical rankings among D1 teams - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 09:37:21

^That is very impressive stats for any season * - MizzouBuickFan MU - 5/7 17:46:21

The thing about k-state and Martin is.... - alwaysright MU - 5/7 11:39:45

It's too bad it came to an end the way it did. - high.nrg STL - 5/7 11:33:53

Most significant of those stats: FT% and FG%. - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 10:59:02

3 stats most correlated with winning are - HissingPrigs77 MU - 5/7 11:16:44

Not only do I question that there are even any - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 11:46:58

Agree in general, however for example - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 11:31:04

If a player passes out to an open perimeter guy who hits - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 11:49:03

Made basket as a result from a pass (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 12:03:27

Here is the actual NCAA definition - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 12:20:47

It is clearly, and of necessity, extremely subjective. What - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 12:25:42

Then some of assist stats don't mean much, IMO. - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 12:20:40

As an example, in 2006 51.1% of our baskets - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 12:29:31

Or, it could indicate better shooters. - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 12:35:47

This is fetal alcohol syndrome-style reasoning - HissingPrigs77 MU - 5/7 11:35:59

Extremely odd response (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 12:05:19

FT% is one of the most overrated stats - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 11:14:20

You're arguing against something I never said; ie that - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 11:23:49

Let me come at that from a different angle then - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 11:57:51

Forget the rankings. I don't care. Just give me - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 11:59:43

Lost 2 games by 2 or less - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 12:02:54

But how about the game with worst FT%? (nm) - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 12:27:18

Not sure which ones those were without looking them up, but - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 12:31:13

I meant which of the two lost games.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 12:32:42

RE: I meant which of the two lost games.(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 12:35:19

Now that I don't dispute. Which invariably brings us to - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 12:36:50

The stupidity of you two is almost too immense to - HissingPrigs77 MU - 5/7 14:16:06

We wanted to give you a chance to enlighten us all and - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 14:23:23

RE: We wanted to give you a chance to enlighten us all and - HissingPrigs77 MU - 5/7 14:38:07

While appreciating the opportunity to review - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 14:54:04

The point, GA Tiger - HissingPrigs77 MU - 5/7 15:01:11

Ok. I won't argue that the stats are meaningless.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 15:29:53

RE: You're arguing against something I never said; ie that - HissingPrigs77 MU - 5/7 11:47:27

Ok, that line of reasoning is as faulty as Fiji's was. - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 11:51:37

FT% in the last 5 minutes of a game would be an interesting - catbirdseat KC - 5/7 11:15:45

Agree, and another thing that isn't captured in FT% is - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 11:22:00

RE: Agree, and another thing that isn't captured in FT% is - catbirdseat KC - 5/7 11:24:39

All of which supports my argument.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 11:42:40

Good stuff. It's such a different and more cleaned up and - alayton21 MU - 5/7 10:52:36

2008-09 - FIJItiger MU

- 5/7 11:19:44

if only this year's team had the 08-09 3pt fg defense - mrnix MU - 5/7 11:33:14

Or half the overall defense. (nm) - quinsnyderjr MU

- 5/7 22:26:50

Very long, tall guards vs short undersized guards (nm) - FIJItiger MU
