The Week That Was:

Points per Possession Margins Through February 19

Ken Pomeroy has shown Saint Louis as the top team since late December, but college basketball’s stats guru looks at an overall margin as an indirect part of his formulation. For the past four weeks Temple posted the largest positive margin derived from conference games.

Saint Louis and Temple were not [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2012/02/25/checking-in-on-the-atlantic-10-conference-8/feed/ 2 Checking In On… the Atlantic 10 Conference http://rushthecourt.net/2012/02/08/checking-in-on-the-atlantic-10-conference-6/ http://rushthecourt.net/2012/02/08/checking-in-on-the-atlantic-10-conference-6/#respond Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:05:03 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=60053

Week That Was:

The Homogenization of the A-10: The surprise team through the first two weeks (Dayton) has fallen to earth with a 4-5 record at the halfway mark. Now what?

The Week That Was

No A-10 Teams in the Top 25… Again: The latest round of the AP and Coaches polls (January 16) show no Atlantic 10 team gathered enough support nationally to be ranked…  for the fourth consecutive week. Saint Louis missed a good opportunity to impress when the Billikens dropped a four-point decision to New Mexico on New Year’s Eve, picking up their second loss in the process. With the [...]]]>
