The Power of The 10-0 Run

Just came to post this. There is a lot of evidence that we’re as good as anybody at our best, as most of us know. Iona is fascinating because they are “streaky” in that they give up a lot of runs, and also go on a lot. Let’s reel off another 27 unanswered on Friday.
 
For those not inclined to click a link and read an article:

That is exactly where a team would want to be on the graph as far as winning goes. No shock to see our company there. But I don’t feel like we give up so few runs. So many teams have made big runs against us in games, in part due to Dan Hurley’s TO management

So are the stats lying when they say we don't give up big runs?

We have allowed five 10-0 runs this year. View attachment 85170

We gave up 2 separate 10-0+ runs against Providence in the 2nd half, otherwise we would have had the fewest in the country. We were the lowest for most of the year.

Alabama has the fewest, but we did put one on them in our game earlier this year (14-0 actually and had a 13-1 run in 2nd half).

Somehow no matter what on any topic Dan Hurley gets shade thrown his way. We need to stop it about the coach. We were not picked to be a top twenty team this year. Although Shaka took a team that was projected worse further, he may be the only coach who did more with what the experts thought he had pre season. We were picked fourth in the BE and guess what we finished fourth. But nobody picked us as a #2 in the country team. And I still believe in the eye test. When we are playing our game we are a top three eye test team…..

Interesting, is that how they define it? I wonder how many 8-point runs we’ve allowed. And that discounts something like a 15-2 run

Well, just about all endpoints are arbitrary. Is it possible we give up more 8-0 runs than similarly rated teams? I honestly don’t know. I suspect we don’t. We should ask the winner if the math geek tournament. I’d say 10-0 runs scored and conceded is a good barometer of a team’s ability to go on and prevent runs.

Sure, the arbitrary nature of defining things is what makes statistics so “fun” lol and like I said, a 15-2 run won’t be included there, which is certainly a killer.

I'm just waiting for someone to state "it's already March 15 and Dan Hurley still hasn't won a tournament game here".

What I would like to know is what games did UConn have those kill shots in, and aside from PC, which games did UConn concede kill shots.

Please don‘t take this personally, but here is the thing about numerical analyses — they do not care how you feel. Only what has actually happened.

Even this weird point you're trying to make isn't actually true. Some would be included, and some wouldn't be.
 
The value of sustained runs is two fold.

First it takes the wind out of the opposing team. It demoralizes players.

Second it has an impact on fans. And fans impact players.

A back and forth game doesn’t have this type of impact.

So it’s another aspect of the game to consider and statistical analysis unsurprisingly shows a correlation with success and frequency of having runs.

This is the way! I have spoken!
