[quote]It matters in that if you are efficient and play at a fast tempo it limits your susceptibility to losing to lesser teams. There was an article in the Athletic about it last March I believe. It makes sense in that if you are creating more chances you will limit the chances of fluky results. Ma...

Yep - we've become a pretty good all around basketball team. I'm not sure why tempo matters in that 3 way stat pack but I'll accept it :lol: We're one of 7 or 8 teams in the top 20 of offensive and defensive efficiency right now. Solid group....

[quote]Western Kentucky is a good team.[/quote] They're not awful but they aren't good. It's Bassey and a bunch of bums. We played a miserable game that day....

Yes, we needed to win both games this week to solidify things. And we won them both in dominating fashion - which is why our KP is now in the Top 20. So, I suspect that will be rewarded....

LSU and Alabama will be ranked Monday It's the opposite of football - football teams get the benefit of the doubt, basketball you get none...

Wade's teams definitely have some Gottfried to them. I think they play tougher than Gottfried teams, but they can look so lost on defense and super iso stand around on offense at times....

Has anybody seen Oklahoma play? We play them soon and I don't know much about them at all....

LSU plays some stinkers and they're doing it tonight like they did with Georgia. I fully anticipate their A game on Tuesday...

Love it - edit this one to be that....

Our athleticism and length in the 2-deep is so much better than it was last year. I wasn't sure Oats was going to be good enough to teach these guys how to play great team defense while playing that tempo style on offense. I was just wrong. They are a well schooled, well taught defensive unit. ...

It's something isn't it?...

[quote]I mean we basically have an elite basketball team. I'm starting to run out of ways to sugarcoat it.[/quote] Yea, and this includes the 2-3 weeks of dog shite. I'm guessing if KenPom isolated his numbers to the last month we'd be a Top 10 team....
