  • Uh....scoring average is a stat, just not as reliable an indicator of defense as points per possession, which easily calculated from the box score.

      Having a healthy Demo and Polce off the bench is huge.

      I assume that will cut Radford a bit but he's also been playing well.

        I am not questioning the strength of IUP's defense. However, scoring can be affected by pace of play. IMHO, points per possession (ppp) is a better stat. If they are holding teams under 1.0 that is good. Under 0.9 is great!
        IUP held Ship to 0.74 ppp, season average is probably about 0.95 - had to guess at the offensive rebounds.

          Offensive rebounds were 18. Your calculation was perfect. This level of defense against a quality opponent can get a team to the Evansville finals!

            I meant I had to guess for the season value of ~0.95

              Season value was 361 offensive rebounds. I came up with 1.055 ppp for ship.
              If correct, it makes iup's defense even more impressive!

                  Oh wow, they said the last Hawk Talk was the last for the year. I guess they changed their minds?

                    The called it the Atlantic Regional Special Edition.

                    I'm sure some of the teams will arrive today. Perhaps old Jack has some special guests lined up.
