It's scary how these numbers came out. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Tiptree Administrator Member # 844 posted 02-15-2012 02:14 PM                     That isn't point-per-minute, it is the inverse: How many minutes it takes for that player to score a point. In other words, a lower number is better in this statistic. But, the point still stands. This is an outstandingly efficient defensive squad (fifth best in the nation at limiting opposing points-per-possession, if I recall), and an equally efficient offensive team (third best nationally in points-scored-per-possession). Most importantly, the 'spread' between points-scored-per-possession and points-allowed-per-possession is the best in the land. We score .27 points more per possession than we allow. Now you know why other teams strive to limit the number of possessions! -------------------- Tiptree “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson Posts: 13628 | From: Terre Haute, IN | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged
