aunavy 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I don't have the numbers handy but just wondering if anyone could project how many of our 12 losses would have been victories if we had shot 70% from the line vice the 60% we averaged. I know there might be additional variables but if all other conditions remained the same how many games would we have won> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickinwang 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 this doesn't answer your questing, but saw this on another forum and it tends to go along with it. Season----Team Percentage----SEC Rank 97-98 64.5 9th 98-99 65 9th 99-00 65.5 7th 00-01 65.1 12th 01-02 59.3 12th 02-03 66 10th 03-04 66.3 10th 04-05 72.6 3rd 05-06 63.1 11th 06-07 63.1 12th 07-08 66.9 8th 08-09 60.6 12th one year over 70% (lebo's first season). 4 years of being dead last. 11 of of the 12 in the bottom 4 of the sec.

WaReAgLe83 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Just did some quick box-score math...70% FT shooting would have changed the outcome in 4 of the 12 losses. The Dayton and Florida games would have been wins, and the Mercer and Baylor games would have at least gone to overtime. It could have possibly made just enough difference to sneak in the NCAA Tournament...11-5 conference record, at least 1 top 50 non-conference win, and no ugly Mercer loss (provided we pulled it out in OT). Who knows, we might still have ended up where we were anyway: top seed in the NIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
