Who said our D is good? Our D is significantly better over the last 7 games than it was for the first 8.
The last two games we've regressed back to the first 7. Hopefully tonight we're locked in and don't play zone

We're going to play zone. Nebraska doesn't shoot/make many 3s.
Webster and Watson will knock them down if they are open

RAW defensive efficiency through our first 8 games = 110.4
RAW defensive efficiency over our last 7 games = 92.6
You would have known this if you watched the games.
What's the numbers of just the last 2 games compared to the first 8? Even if they are the same, having bad defensive performances against two really good offenses is nothing like getting scorched by a bunch of bad offenses.
By the way, you are killing this thread.
You should take notes. Dean generally knows what he's talking about when he's not trolling
So do i. I just don't post stats to back up the obvious. Or maybe I don't know.
You can't post stats because you think they're all flawed

So all I hear is Clown fans crowing about their "defense", like it is good. Heck most Hawk fans know their D is very average to bad. Yet since the ISU and including the ISU game here are the Kenpom RAW defensive efficiency stats:
Iowa 95.1
ISU 98.58
The Hawks have been playing better D Since the Iowa vs ISU game, yet those stupid yokels actually think they have a good defensive team.....Good lord man, that is one delusional fan base.
I think I'm going to really enjoy my subscription to Kenpom, lots and lots of good stuff on that site.

What are the updated numbers now?

B1G rank:
Offensive rating #16
Assist Rate #5
The others aren't ranked, I'm guessing they only rank the top 20?
Jordan had a rough game, are you happy about that? Most of us are rooting for Jordan and feel his a way better than we felt he was going to be coming into the season. Heck even you say he is much better offensively than you thought he would be.
I'm not happy he had a rough game at all. Him really struggling down the stretch is the last thing I wanted to see for the future
I'm not surprised to see that stat at all. I keep hearing how bad our perimeter defense is (and it is) but the last couple ISU games I've watched, they were giving up wide open 3 after wide open 3.

Agreed, ISU was lucky that Tech didn't beat them at their crib. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Texas comes in and beat them Saturday.

Looks like we are in that NIT range.
Damn, we'd be sniffing the NCAA bubble without those 2 losses to Nebraska. We really need to win a game on the road to boost that RPI.
I really feel like at the end of the year we will be cursing that Omaha loss bad.
Yeah, if we would have won those games we'd be 4-1 (tied for first) and 13-5 overall! Probably mid-to-low 50s on KenPom and Sagarin. Definitely bubble range there. We can win lot of games in our next ten. The back end of the schedule is tough, so we need to make hay now!
