Montez Mathis: Synergy Sports also grades him as the team’s second worst defender with 101 points allowed on 121 defensive possessions.

Hmmmm. Not sure I agree with the grade of Synergy Sports

I want Rutgers to beat the sh*t out of the Hoosiers. Their basketball program is near the level of Nebraska's football program, living in the past like its today. I've read several articles from different IU related sites, and each continues to be shocked that Rutgers could be in the same boat (record) as them. It's not like Rutgers hasn't beaten them before. In fact, Rutgers has won 2 of the last 3 games against IU. Still, they expect to win tonight because they are IU. It doesn't matter that Rutgers is tough at home.

Wouldn’t 101 points on 121 possessions be good?

Doesn't sound too bad. Figure that's around 30% of possessions with points scored based on a blend of made 2s and 3s, not to mention any FTs that might have resulted from those possessions (if they're included in the metric).

Maybe 20% or less is considered good if you account for any one player as one-fifth of the team that's on the court during a possession.

Love when Mr. A is fired up!

Could be that he draws the toughest assignment game in and game out. Not to mention this team doesn’t really have any “bad” defenders

The Hoosiers trailer brought back recent memories as our family on college visits stopped in Knightstown Indiana and visited the gym where Hoosiers was filmed.

A must visit if you are out in that area.

GO RU!!

I can't imagine Mathis is our worst defender lol. This is why you can't only rely on stats. It only tells part of a story and you can manipulate data to support your argument.

FIG must be torn between his love of Mathis as the team's MVP and his love of statistics on this one

LOL, like the Angel and Devil on the guy's shoulders in Animal House when he was contemplating what to do about the inebriated, pretty coed.
