One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others

Mar 28, 2007 in monologue, Florida, UCLA, Georgetown, Ohio St., Final Four

Here’s a graph that shows the Final Four teams’ performance during the tournament, game by game. The top 4 lines (with the white diamonds) are offense, and the bottom 4 (black diamonds) are defense. As always, down is good for defense. Two things really stand out for me:

  • UCLA’s amazing defense and non-amazing offense
  • Florida’s consistency at both ends of the court

AVERAGE ADJUSTED EFFICIENCY, FIRST 4 GAMES

Tempo Offense Defense Overall
UCLA 62.5 113.7 72.0 0.9948
Georgetown 58.0 133.2 91.7 0.9866
Florida 65.7 133.5 94.4 0.9817
Ohio St. 63.9 132.8 95.2 0.9788
