No, it's based on the number of possessions and points scored. Points off of TOs is a possession that ends in a score just like getting a defensive rebound or taking possession after the opponent scores. So this makes no difference in OE.

Our issues defensively have gotten much worse from last year. KenPom says that in defensive efficiency we were #24 last year but this year we are #47. Our issues on offense are less this year as KenPom says that in offensive efficiency we were #95 last year but #21 this year.

Scoring not the problem. Defense is.

Our defense is the problem. We're now #46 in KenPom overall defense. We were 24 last season.

From Champs to Chumps. At this rate we'll be lucky to finish in top half of B1G.

This team is swirling around the drain.

I don't know whether it's still the case, but CMW said Duncomb had a lot of injuries which though minor kept him out of practice a lot, and he can only go for a very short while. But there is now lots of minutes to take up now.

Thanks. That's even worse than a no-call. Guess he just put his head in the way of Price's elbow.

When I saw this watching the game, though I didn't see the elbow until the replay. It looks like the ref is standing right there in position, but you can't tell if he was watching on ball. If he was, he couldn't miss this. I thought there was no call. I had no sound. They reviewed the play but nothing happened.

"Bullshit" is a legal term that comes from Latin.

Yes, I wondered about that, too. You could only see the ref from the back but looked to me like he gave the technical sign. Iowa certainly had another one coming.

We missed X. I don't think their press would've worked as well with X in the line-up. We just weren't able to go into attack mode after breaking the press. Missed Race in 2d half. Tough loss.

We need a 2d scorer who can pour it in. Right now we have TJD and a bunch of guys that can get some points but not a lot consistently. Tamar looks like that guy. But can he do it consistently.

Yes. So he is used to this role.

I agree. You can see that Tamar looks ready to bust out. JHS needs to cut down on TOs and let his own offense come to him. If Tamar busts out, I think that will reduce the need for JHS to score. He can then concentrate on the other things. With the other guys scoring he will then have a chance to use his mid-range game and driving ability.

Seize the moment, Tamar!

Gabe looks much stronger than he was, but will need the weight and nutrition program in college to get up to B1G standards. His on-ball defensive skills look good.

Yes that's are only route. We will lose at least 4 players all key. We have only 2 coming in the new class. Do the math.

Could be. I'm not sure how ready Leal is to play. CMW much more likely to go with upperclassman than freshman. "The good thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores."

Although I agree with your point, the issue is that we only have 3 guards in the rotation with X out. Jalen, Tamar, and Trey. And Trey is injury prone.

He played 3 minutes and 4 minutes v. BCU and Morehead.

Leal has been hurt. I think it was an ankle. He has just recently been able to return to action.

Although I agree that Race and our lack of guards make 1 in and 4 out not a likely offense, Race will be more important in the B1G facing quite a few teams with multiple bangers up front.

Part of the problem is a lot of our TOs have been were open court in nature like bad passes etc.

IU Scott looks just like Charlie Brown. Who knew?
