Blow out effect at work, I think much of what happened last night didn't count due to being garbage time.

I was surprised I haven’t seen Collins or Wojo’s name anywhere in this discussion... I think the tendency to give K all or none of the credit for the good defenses seems misplaced. Collins left having 1 truly bad defensive team during his time (12) and Wojo had 2 (12, 14). Definitely think returning playing experience has a major part, probably the majority of it (a strategic decision which falls on K) but want to give Wojo especially some credit for many years of great defense.

Or maybe I’m being an idiot and you all are already including the other coaches in your proclamations about K so the (+ staff) is implied.

The Kenpom offense/defense splits of Wojo's Marquette team this year and last are:

2016-17: 8 offense/165 defense
2017-18: 19 offense/169 defense

I'm pretty comfortable eliminating Wojo's departure as a cause.

His defenses were actually better than his offenses in his first two years there, but they were never good. And I'd say years 3/4 are more indicative of the coach's true fingerprint and points of emphases rather than his first year or two when he's stepping into somebody else's program.

Very small bump on d for holding them to 40 points on 66 poss when they were projected to score 63 on 66 poss.

Very small bump on d

I hate it when that happens. Try an ointment.

When I added HCA metrics to my Z-Rating a few years ago, I'm pretty sure Duke was barely average.

 

[rhfarmer]

Offense up to 125.3.

What's the best ever?

 

[LastHearth]

129.0 by Wisconsin in 2015 is the highest since 2002

125.3 would be the highest ever by Duke and the 4th highest since 2002.

He had them at 9.

Lol

I am going to tweet him about considering starting Duke rated lower on defense next year.

Maybe he’ll apologize about it, too

Offense # 1 at 126.4
Defense #92, up 15 spots

[rome8180]

How did Nova do that?

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Superior talent.

 

[aiw]

#1 offense

 

[Duke Mu]

Not surprisingly 35 in 2FG% defense and 37 in blocked shot%. Effective FG% D isn't horrible. We could create more TOs.

 

[rhfarmer]

#1 offense

phew...
