Surprise! Iowa Is Still Least Efficient In Big Ten (But That's Okay For Now)
It's easy to have gotten caught up in irrational Iowa basketball optimism lately (or before this past Sunday, anyway), and why not? A win at Indiana, a smacking of Michigan State, the nearest of near-misses against Wisconsin; why not get optimistic? Why not think Iowa is basically interchangeable...
Random Observations Around the Big 12
As conference plays gets closer, it's always good to keep an eye on things around the conference. The Big 12 is looking like a solid conference with five or six teams that have a shot at beating anyone on the schedule. The top end has taken a bit of a hit with Kansas State losing to Florida,...
Earning Your Minutes
As I've been reading through the report cards and recruiting information, I started thinking about next year's rotation and how it would look with Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. Most of us seem to be in agreement about the role both of these guys should have for the team...typical white guy...
Northern Iowa and Tempo
After doing the scouting report for Northern Iowa, I've gotten more and more nervous about tonight's game. They do so many things that make it hard for the opponent to score. They don't take many risks on defense, they box out, they don't turn the ball over, they don't foul, and they limit the...

Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake. -Napoleon Bonaparte, whose mistake is appropriately immortalized as the name of Iowa's fifth-most populous city Give Iowa credit: when Indiana was biffing at every aspect of play, the Hawkeyes dutifully stayed out of the Hoosiers'...
Tempo-Free Overanalysis: The Sequel
Last night, I overanalyzed MSU's individual tempo-free numbers. Tonight, I'll overanalyze the team-level numbers. (The tempo-free primer is here, in case you missed it.) On Offense The team's adjusted offensive efficiency of 114.6 (23rd nationally) is right in line with last season's figure of...
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Why is it the most wonderful time of the year? Well, among other reasons, because individual tempo-free numbers are up at KenPom! It's obviously still very early--with just 400 minutes of basketball under the belts of the 2009-10 Spartan basketball team (and only 120 of those against...
ACC Conference-Only Tempo-Free Stats 2009
