Message: [QUOTE="NYCorange, post: 1728069, member: 4918"] To average 75 next year would mean that we would need one of the top 5 offences in the country. Or that our D turned downright horrible. The biggest reason for our low scoring games is our good defense. Teams take a long time to score against good D and that's especially true against the zone. Unless we start to press like Louisville to speed up the game, we're gonna be in low scoring slugfests. I don't think that anyone thinks that Villanova is a slow it down team, but they ranked #294 in tempo this year out of 351 teams. Why? Because teams took forever to shoot against their stellar D. Virginia had a top 10 offense in the country this year, and played at the second slowest pace--in large part because of their D. [/QUOTE]
