I must've missed this, Ken Pom now tracks the average length of offensive and defensive possessions.

Our average defensive possession last year was 19.8 seconds, there were only 2 teams longer; Eastern Michigan and South Dakota State.

Is eastern Michigan rob murphys team? Shut it down.
 
beat you by 30 minutes

what are the odds that we would both stumble onto a 2 month old blog post on the same day?
Wow, that is so weird. Didn't mean to steal your thunder

It definitely makes sense th at there would be a correlation between length of possession and defensive quality. (Also, giving up as many offensive rebounds as we do makes the possessions longer).
 
I came across it today via a link to his "names" post at Marginal Revolutions . . . is that how you got there, or just a weird coincidence?
