Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 5327653, member: 2133"] It can have an effect, but it's more about how teams perform against each other on a per possession basis relative to the league. Basically, if every opponent against Clemson loses by a couple of baskets, but those opponents blow out other teams, then it's probably that Clemson is a good team and would blow out their opponents' opponents. The biggest thing with NET is how teams relate to each other more than MOV. It normalizes a lot of noise that happens by playing the games. There are always those games where a team just has a good night or an awful one (like SU vs DePaul) If MOV was so important, Clemson would have kept scoring to the bitter end - they didn't. Because a better ranking would mean more for them than Moore hucking up a three. Plus, in reality, it doesn't move that much game to game. The efficiency rankings move slower than game to game because they try to minimize the weird outlier games. [/QUOTE]
