In the post I quoted, you said "with at least a similar offensive efficiency."

The difference between the fastest team in D1 and Illinois was 6 possessions per game. With Illinois' efficiency last year, that would have accounted for an additional 8 points. I'd expect them to try to be about Kentucky fast, which is 3 possessions faster and 4 points with the same efficiency. A slightly lower efficiency, and you're looking at them scoring overall about a point or two more a game.

3 possessions faster would make them the fastest Big Ten team in the KenPom era, outside of 2020 Nebraska, who finished 2-18 in conference.
Opponents influence tempo. Unless the rest of the Big Ten (or new additions) play faster, 3 more possessions per game seems unlikely.
POTD
Time per possession definitely seems like a better stat than possessions/game because of the opponent influence.
It perhaps wasn’t but unless the ref can discern a millimeter of air between hand and ball, it’s a turnover.

New-look Illini already meshing - A “team to reckon with”
https://www.news-gazette.com/newsle...cle_d7705c5e-41fc-11ef-978a-6b5d54cc7784.htmlBoswell says "Everybody is, legitimate, a starting player on any program. I feel like this team has definitely clicked way faster and way sooner than I thought. I feel we all have one purpose, for sure. Everybody is committed to that one goal. We have a legitimate team, and we’re going to do legitimate things trying to get a job done."
What happened. I heard BU was a bum and we were a bottom half of the B1G team just a couple of months ago, and now we contending for a natty?
One of the things that makes BU great is that he has a plan A to a plan Z, and they are all pretty good (and getting better every year). In years before BU, if we missed on plan A or B or maybe C if we had one, we were sunk. Some people just can't get out of that mindset.

Brad never has a Plan B. If Plan A doesn’t work he just comes up with another Plan A.
Yeah, I suppose you are right, because for any Plan A that doesn't work, we didn't want the guy anyway. The next plan is always the better plan.Brad never has a Plan B. If Plan A doesn’t work he just comes up with another Plan A.
Saw Brad out walking yesterday afternoon. He has his arm in a sling. Anyone know what happened? Would talk to him but he is always on the phone. Never want to interrupt.
According to his IG story it appears KJ is currently in Spain? Is everything alright on his end?
