Ken Pomeroy was on WAMC today.
One interesting point he made is 3pt defense stat is an illusion... really matters is how good the shooter is and whether he’s having a “hot” night ... not on the defense
He attributes the 3pt shot as the main reason for parity today.

Yeah, just listened to the recording. A few years ago, I was all about saying 3 pt D was mostly luck. I think it's kind of 50/50 ...on luck/pressure. Some of three point D might actually come from good offensive execution and/or tempo control. If you're executing, it puts more pressure on other team to execute. Maybe they get a little tight. Siena's great 3 pt D in MAAC play last year, I think, was a mixture of pressure/transition D/tempo control/ and some luck. It also helped that Siena only had to play the best 3 pt shooting team (Quinny) once. |

Virginia is very, very, lucky, like every time Another point he put forward is that statistically offensive teams have slight advantage over defensive oriented teams ... guess you need to put the ball in the hoop eventually to win 😉 He did mention that UVA added some offensive fire power from team that lost to 16 seed |

In his model, I think a team's overall ranking probably effectively values like 60% offense/40% defense or something along the line. If you have the #1 offense and the 353rd defense...you'll probably be ranked higher than if you have the #1 defense and 353rd offense. It's the reason that you can't just take average of the offensive ranking with the defensive ranking and get their overall. It just doesn't work out that way. |

We’re losing but according to Kenpom:
Siena-191
Maac 26
Fairfield won a good game against Texas a&m. That might have helped.
