Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2569730, member: 1329"] Appreciate your work, but rebounding margin is the worst stat in the sport and needs to never be used. As [USER=676]@whaler11[/USER] said, do you know why we lose the game when we lose the rebounding margin? Because we're missing so many shots the opponent gets more chances at easier defensive rebounds and vice versa they are making more shots and we get less easy rebounds. Simple. Does not tell you how rebounding is actually affecting the game. The stat you want is OREB% and DREB%. or total rebounding % (TRB%). Here are the numbers for you (best 3 of each cat in bold): Wich (L): O - .211, D - .605 @Tulsa (L): O - .224, D -[B] .694[/B] ECU (W): O - [B].400[/B], D -.688 UCF (W): O - .280, D - .686 @Tulane (W): O - [B].355[/B], D - [B].800[/B] @Memphis (L): O - .273, D - .500 Villanova (L): O - .200, D - .600 SMU (W): O - .303, D - .659 @Temple (L): O -[B].438[/B], D - .543 @UCF (L): O - .188, D - .625' CIN (L): O - .243, D - [B].706[/B] USF (W): O - .192, D - ..595 Average in wins: OREB% - 0.306 DREB% - 0.6856 Average in losses: OREB% - 0.254 DREB% - 0.610 D1 Median: OREB% - .292 DREB% - 0.712 In short, we're an okay offensive rebounding team, and we've been above average in wins. We're a bad defensive rebounding team and have been abysmal in losses (but not great in wins, either). [/QUOTE]
