Oh the soft schedule is killing us. Sure, we’re a consensus #1 seed in the tournament right now, but the last one. It’s like we’re almost a 2 seed.
This spreadsheet is amazing. You are a true comedic genius.
This is not a serious post right? This is just comically horrible
I would have preferred a pie chart shaped like a Pepe's pizza and sliced with corresponding asymmetry.
This was exact same complaint last January. Except we lost all of the games.
I disagree with some of your assement. Fist of all Johnson had no impact last year as he wasn't ready. This year's Johnson is better than last years. Also, AJ and Stephon are different defenders as pointed out before. Stephon is a monster on man to man while AJ was great on using his jumping ability to create blocks from behind and steals. I personally like how Stephon plays d as he is right into the offensive player and even now is starting to block shots on help defene. The biggest weakness is Spencer is not great D but he actually plays well at times and Sanogo is better than Samson Johnson. Samson is our backup center and not Youssuf so not sure why you are compring them. We miss Sanogo's toughness inside on both sides of the ball. Also, I think this year's Diarra is better than last years. Is is more disruptive than even last year on the ball. We have some good defenders on the outside but we lack that inside toughness once Clingan is gone. Johnson can block shots but he is a string bean who gets bullied inside right now.
Don't tell me. Is he a possibility for somewhere in the Big East? That would certainly bring some more passion to the Conference.
There does not seem to be the will or desire to take charges and perhaps that is a coaching decision to avoid injuries. The way some of our guys get hammered on offense without calls being made would make taking charges just another way to get flattened without reward.
The charge rule has changed this year making it harder for the defensive player to get that call
Samson Johnson—exactly the same player as last year.
Maybe all the offensive rebounds they gave up? To a team that isn't very good. I don't know exactly how kenpom's algorithms work.
It might have as much to do with what other teams around us are doing as anything we’ve done. We’re already up two to 45 at 3:48 pm
Its all about efficiency. And the amount of fouls and second chances we gave them dont call for an efficient day
I don’t know the exact components, but we gave up 1.08 points per possession, compared to our season adjusted average of 0.978 points per possession. Free throws and offensive rebounds matter, and not only shooting percentage. KenPom also weights in preseason projections less as the season goes on, so we don’t have the elite projections figured in very much anymore. Combine all of that with the fact that Georgetown isn’t very good and we played at home, I can see why our defensive numbers dropped. It sounds like our defense will be getting a big addition soon enough.
Yeah, but what about rebounding?
