goEMAW shoutout?

He's with Greenawalt and Wyatt, so will probably need some prompting.  Call in.

Assaley currently talking about how FT% doesn't have jack crap to do with wins.  In other words, further confirmation (as if we needed it) that he reads goEMAW.

I think free throws only matter when the game is on the line.

However, ft percentage v. conference standing is misleading. You could give everyone the same FT percentage and the standings wouldn't change much I would assume. I'm not going to look this up.

Your friend and people who think like this are effing idiots.

Actually, you should talk to our friends mathematics and statistics - pretty smart dudes who'd tell you that FT% is not highly correlated with W/L record.

In fact, the Big 12 shows more evidence for them being negatively correlated.

just a guess - good teams prolly have bigs that draw fouls, and get them the ball frequently.  lesser teams don't have scoring bigs, and keep the ball in a guard's hands most possessions.

no actually it doesn't.  look at the ftr when compared to percentage.  Missing the front end of 1n1s dramatically reduces rates.  With the only outlying team being KU.  Just because you are good shooting free throws doesn't make you a bad team.  Just because you are bad at shooting them doesn't make you good.  Being ISU makes you blow.

but what about Ft% vs W/L record in games decided by 5 points or less?

or what about Ft% in the last 5 minutes of a game that is decided by 5 points or less?

a) that's a completely different stat that no one tracks, but it would be interesting to see.

b) go look at ISU's record in close games.

He has tourette's, his tick is screaming stupid crap about stuff he doesn't understand, he can't help it.  Like my daughter whining for meals, he's pretty easy to ignore at this point.

You guys are both rough ridin' idiots, so it's logical to assume your freinds are also rough ridin' idiots.  :dunno:

This seems right to me, without doing any systematic analysis, the major distinguishing characteristic between good and bad teams in this conference are big men. They draw more foul shots, regardless of how they shoot them, which is probably more highly correlated with wins than % or rate. Would be interested to see the numbers over a few seasons to verify though.
