EFFICIENCY
This week I charted three games and I came up with these numbers as far as efficient offenses/defense: I will list school, possessions, points, and efficiency (opponent)
Concordia Roseville, 55, 48, .873 (Meadow Creek)
Rogers, 59, 51, .864 (Elk River)
Hopkins, 68, 57, .838 (St. Paul Central)
Elk River, 60, 47, .783 (Rogers)
Meadow Creek, 55, 42, .764 (Concordia Roseville)
St. Paul Central, 68, 48, .706 (Hopkins)

The pace of the Hopkins game was the fastest at 68, Concoria's the slowest at 55. At the higher numbers it means that the offense is shooting well, controlling the offensive boards, taking care of the ball, and going to the line and converting. The flip side would be defense and I can clearly see that Hopkins is the best defensive team of all the games I saw this week. The stats bear this out. It suprised me that Concordia and Meadow Creek had that high of a rating when I did not get that feel at the game at the time.
The average was .803
I will keep tracking this through the week. What it indicates to colleges is the toughness on defense, and the smoothness of offense.
