Some inadvertent love from SI

Posted: 1/26/2012 3:35:58 PM

Was reading SI.com's power rankings, which actually work to give some real info on the teams its ranking. And lo and behold when talking about Ohio State's defensive prowess look what comes up:

"Just take a look at kenpom's national standings for defensive turnover percentage:

1. Ohio: 27.2%
2. VCU: 27.4%
3. Cleveland State: 27.2%
4. ETSU, 26.8%
5. Ohio State: 26.7%

John Groce, Thad Matta's former top assistant, has turned the Ohio Bobcats into a turnover-forcing machine, while Gary Waters' Cleveland State squad is wreaking havoc on the Horizon, and Matta's Buckeyes are forcing the most takeaways in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes are the only one of the five teams above that also ranks in the top 50 in defensive rebounding (No. 3), free-throw rate (No. 30) and eFG% allowed (No. 35) ... which is why they're the most efficient defensive team in the country. "

Three teams from Ohio in the top 5 in defensive turnover percentage and THE OHIO UNIVERSITY leading the way baby!

Inadvertant Love will be the title of my next spoken word album.

Some writers noted this weeks ago.

"Loyalty to a hometown or city is fleeting and interchangeable, but college is a stamp of identity."- Kyle Whelliston, One Beautiful Season.

27.2 is NOT greater than 27.4.

LIES!

Edit: I hate that Kenpom started to charge for using it's resources. I remember the website being quite well organized and had a lot of statistics that were useful for team comparison.

Rooting for Akron is like cheering on the Taliban.

After we play Northern Illinois and force about 40 turnovers we should be on top in a couple games.

But 27.6 is and that's actually what our TO rate is. We are currently in the top 50 nationally in 4 very important defensive metrics.

TO% - #1
Steal% - #7
3pt FG%- #28
Adj Defensive Efficiency - #46
