time to start the thread.....

Ok, so I looked at last year's Summit with regard to Offensive and Defensive Efficiency (points per 100 possessions)

I also looked at lists from all D-1 in 2024 to come up with what is a "good" or "bad" number. I won't bore you with the details, but I tried to use a bell curve.... I'll have to come up with a different scale for the men, I think. I can explain it in greater detail if anyone is interested, but it's basically:

Points x 100 / Possessions

Possessions = FG Attempts + (0.44 x FT Attempts) + Turnovers - Off Rebounds

Anyway, here are the results from my (more complex) separate spreadsheet

2024 Summit Efficiency rankings

team	Offense	team	Defense	team	Net Efficiency
SDSU	106.70	SDSU	87.05	SDSU	+19.66
NDSU	105.97	USD	91.76	NDSU	+9.98
ORU	103.18	KC	92.88	USD	+9.80
USD	101.56	ORU	95.10	ORU	+8.08
Omaha	96.22	NDSU	95.99	KC	-2.63
Denver	94.38	St Thom	99.04	St Thom	-4.96
St Thom	94.09	UND	100.60	Denver	-7.56
KC	90.25	Denver	101.94	Omaha	-10.66
UND	88.12	Omaha	106.88	UND	-12.49

Blue = Excellent, top-15-ish
Green = Very Good, top-60-ish

Orange = very bad, below-300-ish
Red = Terrible, below 345-ish

so overall:
SDSU was in a separate class

NDSU, USD and ORU were on a 2nd tier.  Although USD grades better than ORU in this metric, they were a nightmare matchup for our turnover-prone team.

This league was very offensive-oriented in 2024, as always.  Very efficient offenses, and poor defense.  and this is independent from pace.  If we improve our defense it will go a long way in this league, as we have seen over the last decade.

Against SLU the Yotes had:

Offensive Efficiency of 94.79 (6th place using last year's conference ave)
Defensive Efficiency of 96.11 (6th place using last year's conference ave)
Net Efficiency of -1.32 ......(5th place using last year's conference ave)

So both sides of the ball need to improve, but neither number is a disaster.
