Message: [QUOTE="BlackSquirrels, post: 135977, member: 742"] To add to what some others have already said, Wisconsin will never look good if you're using per game stats because they play at such a slow tempo. This yields less opportunities for points, rebounds, assists, etc. They look much better when you use tempo-free stats like points per possession and rebound percentage. (Also, using assists to evaluate a team isn't particularly useful. It's possible to have an excellent offense without a lot of assists.) Their FG% becomes a lot better when you consider they take an above average number of shots from 3-point range and shoot around 40% on those 3s. Would I have predicted they lose to Iowa? Of course not...that's a huge surprise. However, I wouldn't say the loss is a huge mystery. They shot 3/28 on 3s...that's basketball. [/QUOTE]
