Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2985010, member: 7511"] PPG is an imperfect way to measure defense. PPG is impacted significantly by SOS and the style of offense a team plays. For many years Princeton lead the nation in PPG defense, primarily because their offense would cut, weave and pass for 3-5 minutes before taking a shot. No shot clock in those days. Even with a shot clock, a team’s offensive tempo has a significant impact on their PPG allowed. UConn’s defense is better than most, but the Huskies clearly do not have a lockdown defender this year. Last year we had 2. It will be interesting to see how well UConn does trying to contain Durr at Louisville. [/QUOTE]
