Some Interesting WBB Numbers(Hint State is really good)

[wtw2400]

SEC WBB only plays 16 conference games and allows for a bye. Some teams like South Carolina choose to use that bye to play UConn. More intelligent teams like Mississippi State don't. Pre bye, Mississippi State allowed an average of 61.1 points. With a high of 70 points:

62
69
70
45(Ole Miss lol)
61

Since that bye. State now allows an average of 52.2 points. With a high of 55 points. A 9 point swing and 6 point difference from their high to their lowest given up through the first 5(well at least the 4 teams that were actually decent. Anyway here are the points allowed since they bye

52
53
49
53
53
50
55
50
55

The amazing thing is that this is against better competition. Tennessee, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas A&M are all better than Alabama, Arkansas, or Ole Miss.

Mississippi State has also held the following teams to a season low in points, and I imagine Auburn will be on the list Thursday:

Florida
Ole Miss
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas A&M
Vanderbilt

And all but Ole Miss were after the bye. Whatever happened during the bye between Alabama and Tennessee worked. State is better right now than they were in January. Not that I had to back it up, but the numbers show this is a National Title team. If you give up 52.2 PPG the entire season, that would put you 2nd in the country in PPG Allowed behind Green Bay(though who knows who Green Bay has played after they lost to Mississippi State).

All I know is, no one wants to play this team right now. And once UConn gets on the court, they won't either. This team is good offensively and defensively. I know everyone says this defense isn't in the same ballpark as last year, but the numbers show they are now probably better than that defense. Amazing amazing. If I feel like it later, I'll look at offense, or bench stats. Maybe.

Oh and one more minor thing, if UConn and State do meet, State will have played one more game than UConn, so State will have the longest winning streak in the country. OF course the SEC Tournament isn't as a given as the AAC. But State is simply better than the rest when the stats prove that State is holding the league's best opponents to their lowest points of the season.

Our defense yesterday was incredible. Carter had 31 points, but on 12 of 29 shooting and 1 of 8 from three.

The rest of their team combined for six field goals. Hillsman and Williams are both 15 points per game scores, and we held them to 5 points total.

We are excellent on defense and then have five players that are each capable of lighting you up on offense if you don’t guard them. This team truly is special.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us schedule a UConn or Baylor or Notre Dame soon in the coming years, if we maintain a top team like we have now. And indications are that they will stay at or near the top.

She's gonna be a terror for the next three years.

Um let’s wait a few years before we do that. We lose a lot of firepower next year. I think the way we scheduled this year was fine. We played a bunch of Top 25 teams and games away from home.

Oh yeah Carter is going to be great. Very reminiscent of a young Vivians.

I remember clearly after the Arkansas game where they scored 69 points (and we scored 111) Vic was tired of the D we'd been playing and made it clear he knew how to fix it and it would get fixed. LSU and Alabama both had really hot shooting by a few players to score some points after that, but since then they've been locked in.

 

[dawgstudent]

Nice!

 

[RocketDawg]

Agree, but I still think we'll do it sooner rather than later. How long has South Carolina been "good"? I seem to remember several years ago that Tennessee (under Pat Summit), Notre Dame, and LSU were really good but don't remember anything about SC.

We were supposed to play UConn this year in MSG. I expect that to happen either next year or the year after. Might be a Home and Home and not MSG.

Baylor typically does not schedule hard so that is probably on their end.

And yeah could see Notre Dame as a possibility as well.

You will never see us schedule like UConn. They have to schedule like that since their conference sucks. But I would not be surprised to see UConn.

Truth be told our nc schedule was already good this year. Virginia, Oklahoma State, Arizona State, Syracuse, and a sneaky good RPI team Green Bay all help our resume. We did more neutral site games than away games, which is fine by me. I guess our biggest knock is lack of true away games, but we did it last year so it is not like we will not do it. Maybe just need a mix of last year and this year and that would make a good NC schedule.

I wonder if we did schedule UConn that the thought is to not have a true home and home, but a neutral site home and home if you will and play at MSG and then maybe the Fedex Forum. That would not surprise me.

Good stuff.

Why did that not happen?
