This is a deceptive stat that Dhall brought up in the other thread. Disregarding that there is a 3-5 game difference in games played for teams. Teams that play a 2-3 zone will not foul much.Syracuse is 13th in the nation. Marquette 36th in the nation. Teams that play the 1-3-1 zone will not foul much.George Washington 20th in the nation. Teams that play Pack the Line defense also will not foul much.Wisconsin #1 in the nation. UVA #3 in the nation. Arizona #100 Butler #147 Michigan State #167 Xavier #218 Agressive Man to Man D will foul alot.West Virgina #342 (4th from last in the nation) Georgetown #280 UNC #269 With the current rules taking away forearm checks and touching the offensive player with the arm to defend, Man to Man defense will foul even more. But Man to Man D will create the most turnovers, pressure and easy fast break points (the weakness of Pack the Line). So there's a trade off but fouls for the most part are greatly effected by the style of play of the defense. Fewest Fouls: www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/642/p1Free throw defense measures how much better/worse your opponents shoot their free throws against you compared to how you'd expect based on their free throw shooting over the entire season. It's a way of showing whether a team has been lucky / unlucky, since you can't really control your opponents free shooting percentage. So, a team who, for whatever reason, has their opponents shoot 70% against them in every game they play, but their opponents average 65% from the line on all of their free throws in every game they play would have a worse free throw defense than a team who, for whatever reason, has their opponents shoot 65% against them in every game they play, but their opponents average 70% from the line on all of their free throws in every game they play. Another way to think about it--Providence had good free throw defense against Mikael Hopkins in Providence, while Marquette had horrible free throw defense against Hopkins in Milwaukee. To me I always assumed our bad free throw percentage defense was a sign we fouled guard too frequently, since they are traditionally better free throw shooters.

It would be even higher if they would include transfers. I played with the numbers a little and by adding .9327 ,the rating that they gave Akoy Agau, we would be sitting in the 18th spot, IAW 247 Sports. Did you factor in anyone else's transfers?

Can we slow down with this ESPN stuff? They don't air us so they don't talk about us, but that's the entire big east its not some Georgetown conspiracy. We're not in 1st place in the big east thus we shouldn't be listed first.

Losses this week for #3 Arizona, #9 Texas, #10 Kansas, #11 Wichita State and #13 Washington. Looks like #12 Iowa State and #14 Utah will be moving up into the Top Ten. I'm thinking the Hoyas could get into the Top 25 over #24 Colorado State, which had a very unimpressive win against New Mexico State. Maybe. I won't be shocked if we are still on the outside looking in. I heard something about Louisville losing this week too.

Let's not forget that the game was 2 days after Christmas, I didn't expect a good turnout based on date alone.

My uncle was a starter on the 79 final four team, there is still a lot of pride in the DePaul program. Just need to build back up respectability. How does your uncle feel about the Meyers being pushed out. Does he feel that was a mistake? He doesn't talk about it much, I'd have to ask him

Rosemont is just awful. Horrible. The whole experience is way worse than the Cap Centre. Night games are brutal. It might be only 15 or so miles away but might as well be a 100. Rosemount was rockin when the Meyer's were coaching Depaul with Mark Aquirre, Terry Cummings, Dallas Comegys, Rod Strickland. When the Meyer's were pushed out, the whole program collapsed and hasn't recovered in 25 years. Be careful what you wish for when trying to push out a coaching dynasty. My uncle was a starter on the 79 final four team, there is still a lot of pride in the DePaul program. Just need to build back up respectability.
