[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 788322, member: 1776"] This year's defensive efficiency is 3rd out of the 5 years Pastner has been here. It's the first year GT hasn't had a major rim protector at the back so the defense was really re-tooled. It's a good number, just not a great one. on the flip side, the offensive efficiency is the best at GT since the Young, Crittenton, Smith, Dickey, Peacock, and West team of 2006-07 (116.9) and is almost exactly the same as the 03-04 FF team (that team was 113.5, this year's squad is 114.0). Only that Young and Crittenton team had a significantly better offensive efficiency number than this years. As I mentioned 03-04 was just behind it and 07-08 was just ahead of it (114.5). That number is actually helped by all the live ball TO this team has generated. If I wanted to compare this team to past GT teams the closest comparisons would be the 06-07 squad and the 04-05 squad. Metrics were pretty similar. The FF team wasn't as good on offense, but was insanely good on defense - 88.5. I also went back to look at the ballhandling and this is the best ballhandling team at GT in the last 30 years (they only started keeping TO starts in the early 90's). This squad has team A:TO ratio of 1.44:1 in all games and 1.43:1 in ACC games. The other really strong ballhandling teams came in the mid 90's. 93-94 (Best and Barry) had a 1.18:1 in all ames and 1.35:1 in ACC games. 94-95 (Best and Barry) 1.33:1 in all games and 1.23:1 in ACC games and 95-96 (Barry and Marbury) 1.17:1 in all games, 1.27:1 in ACC games. The last time GT had a team with more assists than TO was Pastner's first squad (Gregory's last squad also was better than a 1:1). Almost all of Hewitt's squads had more TO than assists, the best Hewitt teams tended to have right around a 1:1 ratio. GT and Loyola-Chicago are 2 of the best ballhandling teams in the country this year. Loyola has a 1.3:1 a:TO ratio. [/QUOTE]
