Polls and Numbers

Filed under: Uncategorized — Chas @ 10:44 pm

For those of you who think Aaron Gray isn’t doing enough on the boards, Ken Pomeroy has an interesting bit of information:

Best Defensive Rebounder: Aaron Gray of Pitt is hauling in 31.9% of his opponents missed shots while he is on the court. He’s averaging double-digit rebounds in only 24.9 mpg. Granted, against weak competition.

Now, Pitt has crashed the Coaches’ Poll at #25 and sits (unofficially) at #28 in the AP. With Pitt officially in the top #25 of a poll, expect the cries regarding Pitt’s non-con to intensify.

The Big East Power Poll is out and Pitt is #3. Here is how my ballot looked.

  1. UConn — Undefeated and unbowed
  2. Villanova — Ditto
  3. Louisville — I just don’t like to slam a team for losing a rivalry game. Especially on the rival’s home court. Besides, I couldn’t justify moving anyone ahead of them.
  4. Pitt — that includes my team, when the only victory for the week came against Vermont
  5. Syracuse — McNamara getting hisrhythmm and the schedule is soft
  6. Georgetown — Easy game time for them
  7. WVU — DNP
  8. Marquette — This is a bit of a gut thing, but Marquette is going to be a tough team in the BE this season
  9. ND — And I’m seeing the NIT for ND for a 3rd straight year.
  10. Cinci — Probably a little low, but I cannot get a feel for this team from game-to-game, week-to-week
  11. RU — I almost wanted to ding them for playing a Div. II team this past week
  12. Providence — Best thing for them was not playing all week.
  13. DePaul — So, they go on the road and beat Wake Forest, then lose at Old Dominion?
  14. St. John’s — Marist? Lose to Marist at home? There are two reasons they are not at the bottom of the list:
  15. Seton Hall — Someone do the merciful thing and pull the plug on Louis Orr now.
  16. USF — Had to comeback to beat FAU. No depth and injuries killing.

Early surprises: Cinci and Marquette
Early disappointments: St. John’s and Georgetown
