Message: [QUOTE="hoopsnloops32, post: 4521882, member: 3464"] Points scored and given up is a very good indicator alone of defense and offensive ability. You need to adjust for pace. Its about the average point scored and allowed per possession, typically adjusted against SOS, but not sure if Massey adjusts for strength of schedule. For example - say two teams gave up 30 points per game. You might think they are equal in defensive ability. But then you find out one team averages 15 defensive possession per game and one team averages 30 defensive possessions per game. Cleary one team is actually a much better defensive team than the other one is. [/QUOTE]
