Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3730838, member: 7492"] Ok, because of boredom and the fact I had the stats, I just crunched the Offensive and Defensive numbers from last year by conferences. No surprise but the NBE is a better conference than the AAC, 4 teams ranked in the top 107 in offense (#2-DePaul; #40-St.John's;#57-Seton Hall and #107-Marquette) whereas only 2 other teams from the AAC were (#81-Cincinnati and #98-Temple). NBE ranked 13th at 66.6 pts vs. AAC 21st at 63.9 (with UConn's numbers #16 offense of 77.9 ppg). That alone will help the aesthetics of watching. Defensively, NBE was 14th @ 64.4 ppg; AAC was 7th @ 62.7 ppg (again w/UConn #6 @53.1 ppg boosting this conference). I attribute the AAC defense more to the atrocious offense or LACK of offense than lock down defensive prowess. . When combining both sets of conference stats, NBE was 10th and AAC 14th. The P5 were the top 5 ranked conferences in combined ranking. All said, the opportunity is better for this conference to achieve better acclaim. Here's the data...
