Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4207050, member: 1969"] Regarding #1, KenPom might help in that regard. It has a stat called "luck" and Syracuse is 310th in it (out of 358). This likely indicates we have not played well in close/late situations. As KP is a possession efficiency (margin to a large degree) based system the theory is if you are winning more games than expected based on your efficiency you will be deemed to have positive luck -- it typically indicates you are winning more close games than expected. Vice versa if you are losing more games than expected based on your efficiency you will have negative luck. We have lots of negative "luck" this year, [I]Some will argue that "luck" is probably closer to "clutch" and that it should not be called luck at all. Our negative luck indicates that we have not been good in close/late situations this year.[/I] [/QUOTE]
