Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 4121745, member: 6872"] Offense does not win games by itself. Offense AND defense together is what wins games. What good is it to score 100 pts per game if you give up 101? Rebounding is relative to both offense and defense. If you are losing the rebounding battle, you are giving the other team more opportunities to score and losing opportunities to score yourself. I'm gonna use Massey's Top Ten rankings because it lists offensive and defensive rankings. ([I]despite my misgivings about the algorithm[/I] MOV [I]use)[/I] Notice that the vast majority of the top ten have good defensive rankings.
