[QUOTE="Piotyr, post: 1715002, member: 747104"] Correct, but not in a linear fashion. Raw efficiency margin (which I am calculating) is just how many points you score per possession, vs how many points you allow per possession (and the bottom is the league average, so an average team scores about 1.05 points per possession and allows the same). It's just a rate of offense vs a rate of defense, and the rate tops out at a realistic max of 1.5 (Iowa last night hit 1.53 in an absurd offensive performance), and a defense rate tops out at about 0.8 (Illinois did this to Rutgers to start conference play). Sites like KenPom adjust efficiency numbers to account for the strength of competition in each game and then displays the numbers per 100 possessions (so not everything is under zero, probably makes the data more readable). What Gonzaga is doing in conference this season is unprecedented, such that even after adjusting for schedule they're a clear step ahead of everyone. [/QUOTE]
