Sweet 16 Report Cards

Mar 19, 2007 in monologue, Southern Illinois, Florida, Butler, Oregon, UNLV, Kansas, Pittsburgh, UCLA, North Carolina, USC, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Ohio St., Tennessee, Texas A&M, Memphis, Sweet 16

Here’s a chart of the adjusted tempo and efficiencies of all the Sweet 16 teams for the first 2 games of the tournament. I was going to post it with each team’s rank in each category, but the ranks exaggerate some differences in performance and minimize others. So I broke the offenses and defenses up into tiers, and assigned a grade to each tier. I feel like this gives a better idea of the relative strengths of the performances. I know sometimes I just want a quick and dirty way to say one team is better than another, though, so I’m included the same chart with the ranks instead after the break.

Later tonight I’ll post the last-10-games averages for the remaining teams.
