In 2010, 187 teams took at least a third of their shots from midrange. This year only 8 teams did that.

MS Valley St, the worst team in the country, had the highest midrange rate at 38.7% this year. In 2010, 76 teams exceeded that mark.

I do not hold the cynical attitude that teams are scoring more because defense is worse. Strategy is different now. More threes and rim, less midrange. The data is clear on that. Innovation works.

Duke and Arizona both have top 3 defenses, holding average opponents to 0.91 points per possession. Defending the modern game is just as important.

why the insult? Because I questioned? Hey this is a forum. I defended my dissertation years ago. Thanks for the answering my sincere question.

I did not interpret sedz post insulting. Let's keep posts on topic and not get defensive. And we don't need the sarcasm either.

I am for that. It is a forum and nothing more.
