Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 2960474, member: 2524"] Two things: - Kenpom Adjusted Tempo adjusts for the opponent's usual pace. So if we got Manhattan to play more possessions than their average, we get credit for a high Adjusted Tempo. - Kenpom is still including some of last year in statistics, and with each game some of last year drops off. With the significantly faster tempo compared to last year, we get an exaggerated increase in Adjusted Tempo with each game played, more than what you'd expect from the game's statistics alone. Against Manhattan UConn had 70.4 possessions (56 FGA, 14 OREB, 24 FTA, 17 TO, see [URL="https://kenpom.com/blog/ratings-glossary/"]Ratings Glossary | The kenpom.com blog[/URL]). Last year UConn averaged 68 possessions (32 games, 1832 FGA, 326 OREB, 593 FTA, 403 TO). Manhattan this year is averaging 64 possessions. [/QUOTE]
