Let's call it what it is. It got better when Griffiths stopped getting minutes.I give permission for you to take a small victory lap around those calling you and Rutgers D out in the game thread.
The second half D was something to behold.Elite? Elite.
Elite defense today FluxElite? Elite.
Which half?I give permission for you to take a small victory lap around those calling you and Rutgers D out in the game thread.
Well, why wouldn't you?lol... you guys really believe in this ranking?
It is math. Can you make an observation that we outperfom adjusted numbers against bad teams? Somewhat.lol... you guys really believe in this ranking?
I'd take the under. Not that I gamble.I’d guess it opens at 117.5.
Purdue, arguably the best team in the country, averages almost 86 points per game. They scored 68 against us.lol... you guys really believe in this ranking?
lol... you guys really believe in this ranking?
because our offense have sucked and we milk the clock so much. dont let low scoring games mislead you to think that we have a #4 ranked defense in the nation.Give a GOOD reason not to, other than your own personal bias
The number quoted was using Tempo Free metrics, so holding the ball on offense wouldn’t impact it…and it’s actually up to #3 in the country today.because our offense have sucked and we milk the clock so much. dont let low scoring games mislead you to think that we have a #4 ranked defense in the nation.
It's actually very funny...
with J.Williams in there, we will be much tougher as defense goes but up to this point, noway in hell we are #4 nationally.
LOL... delusional
1. Kenpom is per possession. Milking the clock doesn’t help your defense rating in Kenpom.because our offense have sucked and we milk the clock so much. dont let low scoring games mislead you to think that we have a #4 ranked defense in the nation.
It's actually very funny...
As always I do appreciate whatever it is that allows people to feel the confidence necessary to call others delusional while not understanding the thing they’re discussing.with J.Williams in there, we will be much tougher as defense goes but up to this point, noway in hell we are #4 nationally.
LOL... delusional
In all seriousness I think we will make a concerted effort to push the pace on MD misses. Our DREB has improved so we may be able to leak out.I'd take the under. Not that I gamble.
You do realize these numbers are based on "per 100 possessions" and not "per game", yes? Pace really doesn't matter.because our offense have sucked and we milk the clock so much. dont let low scoring games mislead you to think that we have a #4 ranked defense in the nation.
It's actually very funny...

LOL... delusional
I do like this defensive lineup
CLIFF
MAG
J WILLIAMS
JMIKE
SIMPSON
very quick, handsy, up your face kind of guys in there.
amazing what J.Williams does for this Unit. People were sliding over so much quicker to help, or trap, which caused alot of turn overs. Looked like good old Rutgers defense...
BIG Swing and a miss, njx.because our offense have sucked and we milk the clock so much. dont let low scoring games mislead you to think that we have a #4 ranked defense in the nation.

Are Harper and Ace not good defenders?by the way - there’s lots of talk about pressure on Pike for a bust next year and how that could impact the future.
If Pike somehow makes Harper and Ace into good defenders and clogs in top 25 kenpom D - we have ourselves a national brand. That would be a huge differentiator if we could become known as the school who preps star recruits to defend in the NBA.
It’s more than they aren’t asked to defend much. It isn’t needed. Unless your talking about a kid like JMike coming in known for his D, usually frosh aren’t that good. Simpson came in better than most as frosh but he’s a better defender this year.Are Harper and Ace not good defenders?
