Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4176451, member: 1329"] The top transition team in the country is in transition 25% of their offensive possessions (Kentucky). The D1 average is 15% transition. UConn is at 22% transition, 13th most in the country. When not in transition, we play pretty methodically. (Setup a play, run some action, use action to dump it into Sanogo, maybe kick it back out, find shooter off a screen, offensive rebound, etc.). It's why despite being in transition 13th most, we have the 148th quickest offensive tempo. Offensive rebounds in general can distort pace stats depending on how they're accounted for. On the other hand, take a team like Depaul. They've only been in transition 17% of time, close to average. But their offensive tempo rank is 65th, because even when they're not in transition, they'll just have a wing guy jack a random 3 for no reason with 20 left on the shot clock. One of the reasons their offensive is 100+ and ours is top 20. [/QUOTE]
