Very interesting work. How does one factor in SOS when a top rated team (say the holes) do not have to play themselves, so they automatically hav a somewhat lower SOS than say someone at the bottom like State who has to play them twice and do not get to ply them selves, so it is automatically a bit higher.
How can you work that factor (regardless of the teams) to determine a SOS?
I hear that argument from top rated teams 🙂
it was mentioned – “Of note, we entered the night averaging 27.4 free-throw attempts and 11.8 turnovers per game. Well, we only attempted three free throws and had 11 turnovers in the first half.”
I had thought that we had a ton of turnovers for the game but the official boxscore only has us with 13 for the game. This means only 2 in the 2nd half! Watching the game, it seemed that we played just as bad.
Did they just stop tracking turnovers? I find that stat from the game hard to beleive.
