I am in no mood to think, so let's analyze where U of L currently sits statistically in relation to its Big East brethren. I don't even know if that sentence made sense. Not re-reading it. Scoring Offense 5th - 79.7 ppg Leader - Villanova, 85.2 ppg Scoring Defense 11th - 69.3 ppg Leader - Pittsburgh, 60.6 ppg Scoring Margin 5th - +10.4 Leader - Syracuse, +17.9 Free-Throw Percentage 4th - 70.5% Leader - Villanova, 75.3% Field Goal Percentage 7th - 45.1% Leader - Syracuse, 53.1% Field Goal Percentage Defense 8th - 42.2% Leader - Connecticut, 38.2% Three-Point Percentage 10th - 32.9% Leader - Marquette - 42.4% Three-Point Percentage Defense 14th - 35.2% Leader - Pittsburgh, 29.9% Rebounding Offense 6th - 39.0 rpg Leader - Providence, 41.4 rpg Rebounding Defense 9th - 34.3 rpg Leader - West Virginia, 30.3 rpg Rebounding Margin 5th - +4.7 Leader - West Virginia, +7.9 Blocked Shots 9th - 4.1 bpg Leader- Connecticut, 8.6 bpg Assists 5th - 15.7 apg Leader - Syracuse, 19.9 apg Steals 3rd - 8.1 spg Leader - Syracuse, 10.9 spg Turnover Margin 4th - +2.48 Leader - Marquette, +4.39 Assist/Turnover Ratio 8th - 1.1 Leader - Notre Dame, 1.8 Offensive Rebounds 2nd - 15.9 rpg Leader - Providence, 17.2 rpg Defensive Rebounds 13th - 23.1 rpg Leader - Connecticut, 26.8 rpg Defensive Rebound Percentage 11th - 64.4% Leader - Cincinnati, 72% Offensive Rebound Percentage 2nd - 42.4% Leader - West Virginia, 43.3% 3-Point Field Goals Made 3rd - 8.0 pg Leader - Marquette, 8.2 pg So we don't lead the league in anything, but we're also not last in the league in anything. Party? Ten Pin?

Looks like the preseason prediction was right.
Overall we’re the 4th or 5th best in the BE. But on any given night we’re capable of being in the top 2. Cuse is really building momentum and confidence.
We're 1st
in a couple of categories, but you have to dig deeper…
Towel Waving Prowess
Louisville #1
Players With SS Initials Who Nearly Do The Splits Every Single Time They Dunk
Louisville #1
I think this sums up everything we knew
We’re not good at defensive rebounding, can’t guard the three, live and die by the three ourselves, slightly above average at everything else… I like it when the number back up opinion.

Statistically we don't look so great...
But there’s one thing not figured in — the Pitino Factor. Although often times a liability in the clutch, no one can deny the overall toughness and conditioning his teams bring to the dance. Makes a big difference more often than not.

a couple more
Field Goals made by opponents in the last 2 seconds of shot clock
16th
Fouls committed with less than 3 seconds left on shot clock
16th
Free Throw Percentage
I like that we were fourth in that b/c if you ask Bobby Knight, that is one of the more important stats. Im not sure on the stats of how we have done in that in the past years but it seems as though we havent been good at shooting free throws over those years…
Irony here b/c good freethrow shooting should lead to us not blowing leads at the end of games… but i like what it may show for the future

What are you going to do
when people actually start taking you up on the Ten Pin offer? I’m in St. Louis or else I would. When you finally go, I want to see pictures of all the CCers, wearing Card Gear, on a non-game night, and bowling better than “The Dude.”
