I Want Numbers!!!

Some other things to take care of (trying to pull other conference data) so the recaps will be short and sweet, with only tempo-free stats to fill your mind:

Oregon 77 Washington 89
Oregon shot well (63% efg vs. 57% efg) in this Indy 500 style 73 possession game that felt faster than that. High 25% turnover rate for the Ducks and once again bad defensive rebounding (giving up 43% offensive rebounding) along with attempting half as many free-throws as the home team. Washington finished with 1.22 points-per-possession vs. the Ducks' 1.06

UCLA 62 California 46
Big road win for the Bruins in this Ursa Major match in which they shot 53%efg vs. Cal's 41% brickfest. In addition, UCLA hauled in 37% of their misses, and only gave up 19% of Cal's misses back to them. This slow 57 possession game saw efficiencies of 1.09 for UCLA and a dreadful .81 for the Bears.

Oregon St. 55 Washington St. 70
The Cougs took care of business at home on 52% efg and limiting the Beavers to just .84 points a possession in this "fast" (for Wazzu) game of 65 possessions. Oregon St. took 15 more shots than Wazzu, but managed 15 less points than the boys in Pullman. Big home match this Saturday for the red and white.

USC 50 Stanford 65
Stanford did what it needed to do to take steps towards an NCAA berth in an ugly-tempo-free match on 53% efg and limiting the Trojans to only 31% efg. The Cardinal had 20 turnovers in this 72 possession game for a less-than-nice 28% turnover rate. This kept the scoring down, and resulted in efficiencies of a porous .69 ppp for USC and .88 ppp for Stanford.


Big big added stats coming soon!!!! Fear not you east-coast and midcoast and high-plain folks, Tempo-free goodness is coming to a conference near you!!!!
